Jack,
If you are saying you have moved your Windows Documents and Pictures
folders into One Drive, Legacy will start using that Documents folder as
its default folder.
You can tell if this is happening by going to the ...\Documents\Legacy
Family Tree\_AppData\usr\ folder and look at the contents in the
Detailed View. If you do this after opening and closing Legacy, you'll
find some with the modified date of today.
If you just have duplicate folders in One Drive then the settings folder
that is updating will still be in the official Windows Documents folder
as the only way to change its location is to properly move Documents
(which One Drive *may* do for you). ...\Documents\Legacy Family
Tree\_AppData\ folder.
Otherwise you can have your media and data wherever you like provided
you tell Legacy where it is at Options > Customise 6.1 and 6.2 and at
1.2 if you use the option to point to a particular file in a particular
folder to be opened.

Thanks very much Chris, my thinking on how to do it was way off. After
I read your email and knew what to look for using your description I
looked at past tips on Legacy and there it was on 16 July 2019 news
letter.
Your email was very important to me. I didn’t want to guess on how to
do it and mess things up.
Thanks again
John Reynolds

Hi
In Options - section 6 will allow you to specify where Legacy will
expect to locate the family and media files. It will expect that the
location is accessed via a drive letter.
That would seem to be to X:\Users\....\OneDrive\...., or to
X:\Users\....\Google Drive\..... if using that. This should work
perfectly but be aware that Microsoft and Google will need time to
sync the files across to their cloud before it can be accessed from
another PC.
Other cloud solutions which expect direct access to the cloud
rather than a local copy would not work this way, unless you can
manage to get a network mapping to it, and can live with the
performance issues.
Regards
Chris
