Is there a way (ini file) to change the location of the import folder?
I would want it on a different drive away from everything else.
Thx.

I don't know any setting, sorry.

If you are using NTFS you can make a junction point where you want that points to UEs import folder.

If a junction point is treated as directory, then it is possible to delete the UE import folder and then to create junction point with the same name pointing elsewhere?

Interesting concept. Never used it to be honest. Would prefer a more straight forward solution inside UE, though, to keep it simple.

Inside UE is up to Alex. With my idea you can have your import folder wherever right now 8) , and should be easy with for example Junction Link Magic.
