Hello,

I have several folders synced with different devices. On my main device (Desktop) I want to change the partition from E to D.

I only need to change the partition letter, the path stays the same but I cannot go into each folder config and change only the letter from E to D cause Syncthing doesn’t let me do it.

Can I use the config.xml (C:\Users\Markus\AppData\Local\Syncthing) and change everything? Or is there any risk?

Cheers Markus

Pause the folders, move the files, change the path using the advanced settings dialog (don’t get it wrong), unpause the folders.
