Asset store download folder?

The official info in the manual:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AssetPackages.html

 

The workaround is: you can change the location of the AppData/Roaming folder....

 

halivudestevez yes you can just follow the steps, if you dont have harddrive, just buy one (i hope you wouldnt experience delivery delays luck i did)

 

so where is it on linux?/ubuntu

It is such a simple thing to move the assets download folder to a place of your choice. My assets are on a separate hard disk away from the OS. BTW I am speaking about Windows 10 and I do not know if this applies to Mac and Linux.
Follow these instructions and you'll be done for life.

Why pay when you can do it for free?

What? There is nothing there for moving the location of the folder https://i.imgur.com/OfnKk6O.png

 

Like everyone else in this thread. I don't want to fill up my C Drive with the things I download from the asset store. I am OK with the base packages for Unity being there, but not OK with all the other assets.

I am using Windows 10 and Unity 2020.3. I tried a few things that I read online and they did not work. I made the .toml file. I created the environment variables. The only thing that did work was a SymLink.

Here is what I did that worked perfectly (Read the notes below before entering these commands!):

1. Moved all assets from C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x to F:\Unity-AssetStore-5x
2. Deleted the folder C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x
3. Ran Windows powershell as admin and entered the following command

Code (CSharp):

1. new-item -itemtype symboliclink -path "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Unity" -name "Asset Store-5.x" -value "F:\Unity-AssetStore-5x"

It fixed the problem. Now all of my new downloads go to the folder I want and unity downloads them finds them and imports them no problem.

You will need to change the username from USER to your username in steps 1, 2 and 3. Also the location F:\Unity-AssetStore-5x is where I put it but you can put it anywhere you want. Just change the value in step 1 and step 3 to the location that works for you.

I hope someone else finds this helpful this got me stuck for a few hours

 

Thanks! This worked flawlessly.

Wish Unity would add option to change downloads folder in their editor.
That cannot be so much work for them.
