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

You now have the option of entering the folder path directly, or clicking on "Select" to choose it :
Please note: it is very important to choose a completely empty folder, otherwise synchronization errors may occur.
