Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/1097

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM Desktop App (Windows)

What happened?

it just installs and doesn't ask my install path... i want to put it on D:\ Drive on windows not C:\ drive for example!

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Just run the install file from anything llm https://useanything.com/download
No response

Not a bug, it is intentional at this time. We may enable it in the future, but for now you can copy it to a new drive if desired and it will work the same.

mklink /d c:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage D:\path\on\other\drive\anythingllm-desktop\storage allowed me to keep my C drive safe from data overflow.
