Hi Folks,
Nice product. Install took a few cycles.
Seem like the Site path option in the Settings screen only permits sites to be installed on the C: drive. I prefer to select this so that I can build my sites on a larger SSD sitting at S:.
Plans to incorporate this?
Windows 10 Pro | Build 19041.789
Thanks,
Matt

Hi @CapWeb . Thanks for reaching out and welcome to DevKinsta. I’m afraid at this time only the C: drive is available. However, I’ve moved this over to the Feature Requests category to have our devs take a look at this as a possible future feature. Thanks so much!

Hi @dgilfillan, are you still unable to do this? I’ve found that I can switch to my external drives. This should have been fixed a while ago.
Please let us know if you’re running into an error with this:
I know this process can get blocked due to permissions issues with site files during the transfer.

Yes, unfortunately. It won’t even let me move it to a different folder on the C drive either!
The path showing is a little strange with the trailing forward slash?

Oh that is really weird; can you please create a new thread in [Bug Reports](https://community.kinsta.com/c/bug-reports/9)? I’m guessing there’s a weird error happening because of that slash.
