Specify a Custom Source Directory for Vuforia Studio Projects and Assets
You can specify a custom directory on your system for your Vuforia Studio source directory that contains projects and assets. By default, this location is C:\Users\<username>\Documents\VuforiaStudio.
* 
Note the following when specifying a custom source directory:
Changing the source directory will not move existing content; only new content will be stored in the new directory.
Changing the source directory is not intended for sharing assets between users via a shared drive.
To use a remote location as your custom source directory, map it to a local network drive first.
Windows
1. Exit and close Vuforia Studio completely.
2. Navigate to C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\VuforiaStudio, and open the app-config.json file.
3. Update the studioHome property to use the new location. For example:
{
"studioHome": "C:\\<new location>\\<new source directory>"
}
* 
Backslashes in the file path must be doubled to avoid errors (\\).
macOS
1. Exit and close Vuforia Studio completely.
2. Open Terminal.
3. Enter the following:
defaults write com.ptc.thingworx.ThingworxThingBuilder 'studioHome' '/Users/<user name>/<new source directory>'
