    I have my Unity project stored into Dropbox, and the Library folder is having millions of files and makes dropbox to resync many files each time I recompile.
    Is there a way to have Unity storing the Library folder out of the project folder ?

    Hi @EarthHobbit, It's not possible to change the Library folder out of the project. However, you might use our cache server package to avoid recompiling times. Also, you can try using assembly definitions in order to pack your scripts and precompile them. Another way to track your project would be by using GitHub instead of Dropbox.
    Can you take a look at this blog?

    Dropbox is a terrible place to place a Unity project, as it deals with change conflicts in a way Unity cannot handle gracefully. Use a source control system instead.
