How to change the default storage location of SkyDrive

I believe many Microsoft system enthusiasts have upgraded to Windows 8.1 system, Microsoft Windows 8.1 brings more new features than Windows 8. But there are also some system default settings that make us feel at a loss. Today, Xiaobian will share how to change the default storage location of SkyDrive in Windows 8.1.

Figure 1 Windows 8.1 Deep Integration SkyDrive

SkyDrive and Windows 8.1 systems are deeply integrated, but we don't really like the default storage location that Microsoft sets for SkyDrive. In Windows 8.1, the default save location of SkyDrive is in the X:Users username SkyDrive. Originally, the system disk should not store too many files. If the SkyDrive synchronization file is stored in the system disk, the system disk space will be increasingly cut back. The easiest way is to move the sync file of SkyDrive to another location.

First open the Explorer (this computer) and right click on the SkyDrive icon on the left to select the <;Properties" option.
