X: Drive location

Den

Hi,
When I install Boxcryptor, and when I login, a X:\ letter is shown in my filesystem.
But it is linked to my physical C drive, which is the smaller one (SSD).
I would like to set the Virtual drive X on the physical D drive which is larger.
I could not find where to do that change.
Is it possible, and how to do it ?
Thanks

The X Drive is a virtual drive, i.e. It doesn't consume space. The space available on X is displayed the same as on C which is admittedly confusing, as the files stored on X are very different from the ones on C

That's what I thought but seeing your answer I repeated my test and I really think that X is stored on C drive.

The X folder properties is 165GB with only 13GB free (which is exactly the same properties as my C drive).
I copy/paste a set of folders whose total size equals 21GB into the X:\Google Drive folder.
I then receive a message from Boxcryptor saying :
"Insufficient space on Boxcryptor, additional 8GB required to copy these files
Boxcryptor
Free space : 13 GB
Total space : 165 GB"

If there is no way to change this limitation, then I will need to use another software.
Did I miss something ?

The problem is not your X drive, it is your Google drive folder. If you have 13GB left on C and want to copy 21GB, it's obvious it doesn't work. The same would happen if you copied those files directly into your G-Drive folder, without using Boxcryptor. I suggest following:
0) make sure your G-Drive subscription allows for the additional files to be copied, purchase additional space from Google if required
1) uninstall Google drive, then reboot
2) delete the files in your G-Drive folder
3) re-install Google drive and make sure you select a directory on D: as target directory for sync
4) re-sync Google, then copy your 21GB files

Hi Markusw56,
Sorry for the delay.
Yes it worked for me.
Indeed the issue was to uninstall Google Drive first.
Many Thanks
