Anyone know if there's a way to change the root save folder for the surveys and their associated files in Survey123 connect. Right now it looks like it saves to the local harddrive at a path such as

C:\Users\username\ArcGIS\

where the designs would be saved at C:\Users\username\arcgis\my survey designs . I'd like to change the root folder the survey123 connect app points at to a location on our company's server. Definitely can see the paths in the about section, but doesn't have an edit or change button, any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Hello @AustinGootee

It is not currently possible to change the directory of the My Surveys and My Survey Designs folders. We have an issue in our backlog to support this in the future. We have a few different enhancements requesting this functionality (ENH-000101301/ENH-000101302/ENH-000105975/ENH-000132527) feel free to reach out to Esri Technical Support and they will be able to assist with getting you attached to an Enhancement so you can track it's progress. 

Thank you,
Zach

Hello @AustinGootee

Unfortunately we don't have a timeframe at the moment on implementation, for a while there were a number of constraints that impacted this enhancement. We've recently made some updates that should resolve those constraints and make implementing the enhancement possible.  

Thank you,

How can I track the status?  Maybe I'm overthinking this, but if I make a survey in Connect and then leave the company, how will my replacement be able to pick up from where I left off in the XLS? Do we need to save the xls titled "form" from the outgoing employee's C:\Users\username\ArcGIS\My Survey Designs to the incoming employees C Drive?

I cannot wait for this enhancement to be implemented, it will be a game changer! Collaborating on survey design is a pretty fundamental component of working in a large organization, so having to keep things stored on local drives has been extremely cumbersome. 

Best,
