I have recently installed SNAP v.8 and I’ve been trying to change the location of the .snap folder to a different drive according to the following instructions here and here
The issue if that the ‘snap.properties’ file does not contain the line #snap.userdir=
How should I proceed in that case?
Thanx for the reply. Attached is the requested file. Will try out the proposed solution and let u know if it works
cheers,

Concerning change of default user, there’s again memory issues on my machine, I noticed that after downloading SNAP updates a new .snap folder is created on drive C (which I want to avoid using), instead of the drive/path indicated in the snap.properties file. What else should be changed so that everything related to SNAP -updates, DEMs etc- is put in the user-specified folder?
Edit: I tried also changing the user path in the snap.conf file, but SNAP didn’t run at all in that case
You probably want to change the settings in snap.conf too.
default_userdir="${HOME}\SNAP"
On Windows "${HOME} this is mapped to C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Roaming
So, you should change this too.
DEMS can be redirected to another location by setting e.g. AuxDataPath = X:\\AuxData2 in snap.auxdata.location. By default, the user directory set by the property snap.userdir is used.
