Can I move SmartSwitch location

[kiredoryor]

I have a Galaxy S9. I backup and Synchronise regularly using my hp laptop.
At the Moment SmartSwitch has stored, by default, onto my Microsoft OneDrive. The Backup folder uses up about 8GB of the availible 10GB (free) memory.

Can I move SmartSwitch to an external 5TB Samsung drive that I use, to free up space on the OneDrive.

If I do so, will SmartSwitch "find" it when I next backup, synchronise or wish to restore.

I have an identical problem with the SmartSwitch backup and sync taking up nearly all my Microsoft free OneDrive allocation.

Is there nobody out there who can answer Kiredoryor's question?

I'm sure Smart Switch can use a local drive, rather than just cloud online, i.e. Microsoft OneDrive. If you configure it to backup to a local drive, probably be easier just to start a new backup from your existing Samsung device. Exact details I don't know, as I don't have any Samsung devices now.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Thanks for the idea. SmartSwitch didn't want to work the first couple of times I tried it after setting it up on an external drive but it then gave up fighting back and worked fine for backing up but not synchronising!

HahahahHaa ... oh ... sorry.

Smart Switch is Samsung's replacement for Kies, which will, among other things, backup data from your phone and give you the ability to restore the stock firmware.
