[Qgis-user] Issue - Changing location of the profile folder.

[Mik Biernacki]

Hi,

Hopefully, this is the correct e-mail to sent issues like this to, if not please do let me know the appropriate alternative.

Is it possible to change the location of QGIS Active Profile Folder?

A quick Google suggested that creating a new environment variable QGIS_USER_PROFILE with variable value being the path to the profile folder should work but for some reason that does not work.

I did restart QGIS multiple times, the path does contain profile data. I know it didn't work because the profile name says my name and if it did work it should have changed to my co-worker's name. I thought it might be an issue with the location of the new profile folder being on a network drive, however, changing the plugin location worked with the same network drive.

I'm using QGIS 3.36.3 on Windows 10

Many thanks,
