    <title>topic How to change default paths away from C: when moving existing Pro projects for toolbox, geodatabase, home folder? in ArcGIS Pro Questions</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;One Drive is slowly being distributed across our organization and starting to heavily affect our user base working with Pro. How can I change the default paths for project home folder, geodatabase, toolboxes away from C: as default for&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;existing projects?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Since Pro does not support One Drive we've instructed our user base to share and save projects using a shared network drive location, but once our users move projects to these locations they open them up and the content is shown in C: defaults. I can set the default location to &lt;EM&gt;new&lt;/EM&gt; projects as a network drive, and all the paths for these items follow that path, but I cannot seem to change the defaults for existing projects that get moved around. I tried "Save As" these projects to the shared network drive and opening them, but the C: paths remain. What am I missing?...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The &lt;A href="https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/problem-arcgis-pro-and-cloud-storage-services-000025605" target="_self"&gt;guide here&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;under "Automatic synchronization of the Documents folder"&amp;nbsp;describes our issue but doesn't suggest many ways of dealing with a bunch of existing projects.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="BrittanyBurson_2-1741905316394.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127905i34C20ED9AD5C3942/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="BrittanyBurson_2-1741905316394.png" alt="BrittanyBurson_2-1741905316394.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
