# Windows : choose a custom folder for Leviia application synchronization (Advanced mode)

By default, when the **Leviia** application performs a synchronization, it creates a Leviia directory at the root of the user directory. (C:\Usersyour_usernameLeviia)
It is entirely possible to choose the local folder in which to synchronize.

||| Caution: you can use an external disk, but it must remain plugged in while the application is active.

1. To do this, right-click on the **Leviia** icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the taskbar and click on **Settings**.
