What is the Guidance re: Windows 11 / Pro Tools Install Folders?
Pro Tools Studio 2022.12
Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 OS build 22621.963 I'm searching but I'm not finding any guidance on Windows 11 (22H2) setup re: Microsoft account login vs. local account login, as regards Pro Tools... I wouldn't knowingly have installed Pro Tools into a cloud-synchronized folder, but I didn't fully appreciate that Windows 11 (22H2) integrates OneDrive in such a way that it seemingly takes over the local Documents folder... Now it seems that no matter what I do, including re-installs, setting Pro Tools preferences for file paths, I can't keep Pro Tools activity out of the OneDrive folder paths... Just now, despite everything seemingly installed and file path preferences set to Local path (and folder set to NOT back up): Code:
C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Pro Tools Code:
C:\Users\myusername\OneDrive\Documents\Pro Tools\Project Cache |

Trashing preferences did not initially seem to help, but after again re-setting the Project Media Cache root file path in Preferences (which was already set) and "Remove local cache" of a cloud collaboration project, it now seems to be saving Projects as preferred, to:
Code:
C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Pro Tools\Project Cache |

Random recommendations(my opinions)
1-DON'T use cloud collaboration or cloud-based iLok(use a physical iLok whenever possible) 2-Create sessions, NOT projects(projects live in the cloud while sessions live on your local drives) 3-On the opening window(where you create or open existing sessions), check the box to allow you(the user) to specify where sessions are saved to(NOT the default folder) 4-search the web for instructions on removing OneDrive(though if you adhere to #3, OneDrive should not be a factor). |

Thanks... that's why I'm surprised to so far not have seen instruction from Avid (am I missing it somewhere?) on Windows 22H2 setup re: choosing Microsoft account login or not... because it makes the OneDrive Documents folder *THE* documents folder for the PC...

If I had chosen local storage option in initial Windows login account setup, can OneDrive still function independently as in earlier Windows versions (with its own Documents folder, mirrored from the cloud)? |
