How to Change Default Electron Storage Path?

[sophieminasyan]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on an Electron application and I need to customize the default storage path for user data. By default, Electron uses:
$HOME/.config on Linux
%APPDATA% on Windows

However, I need to change this location to a different directory. Could someone guide me on how to configure this?

Hey @sophieminasyan,

running <app> --help on your application will tell you that users can specify the --electronUserData argument to change the directory for the electron storage. Alternatively, users can add a data folder in the application directory, which will be used to store all data.
