I have setup my DAZ Content, so that none of it is stored on the C: drive in my private profile.  I do this because:

1. If I update or reload Windows, I do not have to worry about wiping out my content.

2. Is easier to manage directory permissions and do backups.

For my answers "DriveLetter:\" means any drive except C:\.  


CMS Cluster Directory: C:/Users/Marc/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/cms  -  DriveLetter:\DAZStudio\cms


DAZ Connect Data: C:/Users/Marc/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Daz Connect Library  -  DriveLetter:\DAZStudio\DS4Content


DAZ Studio Formats: C:/Users/Marc/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library

                    C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library - Leave alone, should be empty.

                    C:/Daz 3D/Applications/Data/DAZ 3D/My DAZ 3D Library  - Leave alone.


Poser Formats: C:/Users/Marc/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library - I have no Poser content anymore.  I used to use DriveLetter:\Poser\Poser7.

               C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library

               C:/Daz 3D/Applications/Data/DAZ 3D/My DAZ 3D Library

Use file explorer (the folder icon) to move your content to its desired directory.
