Setting environment variables

As an administrator, you can use the following environment variables to set the location of various iManage Drive directories:

  • IMANAGE_DRIVE_APP_DATA_DIR_ROOT: Change the location for storing iManage Drive application data. If this option is not set, the default path for LOCALAPPDATA which is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local is used. If set, this overrides the value for the LOCALAPPDATA variable.

    NOTE:

    • Use this option if you cannot change the value for LOCALAPPDATA.

    • Set a unique value for each user so that users do not overwrite each others data, for example—D:\drive_root\<username>.

    Example:
    IMANAGE_DRIVE_APP_DATA_DIR_ROOT: D:\drive_root\<username>

  • IMANAGE_DRIVE_FILES_DIR: Change the location for iManage Drive encrypted file storage. For example, set the value to E:\drive\<username>.
    If this variable is not set, the encrypted files are stored at the default location where iManage Drive data is stored or whatever location is set using IMANAGE_DRIVE_APP_DATA_DIR_ROOT.
    Example:
    IMANAGE_DRIVE_FILES_DIR: E:\drive\<username>

NOTE:

In both the aforementioned environment variables, replace the <username> variable with the actual username.
