I believe the main reason for it to default on the c:\users folder is because it is a fixed location on a PC, not like an SSD or USB HDD that can be removed. For example, if there is an option to choose the folder and you select the USB HDD, and the USB HDD is not plugged in -- it might cause the sync to fail.
Had to come back on that point, Nhellie. For a whole hosts of logical and best practice reasons, I have for a long time, saved my data from applications to a seperate HDD in my PCs, rather than using the 'default' C:/users folder (simplified backup and restore is the main one that comes to mind). Why on earth would we constrain users so heavily to a default set of folders for synching? If an inexperienced user moves the folder on the PC and breaks the synch, they will be notified that they made a mistake and can easily rectify it. I have lots of praise for Netgear's release of such a useful capability, but let's not treat all users like children....I, for one, am waiting patiently for an updated relase of the Synch app so I can actually use it the way I want to use it, which is how a lot of other vendors allow their users to work with similar applications. :wink:
