Hi all,

I just upgraded to MobiControl 2026.1 (OnPrem) and am now facing the problem that filesync policies are expecting me to use the predefined "Root" directory.

In the documentation I saw a feature called File Manager, but it only seems to be available with a cloud instance.
On second glance the feature per default only allows local root paths within the directory C:\Mobicontrol.
I would like to use the folder that is already set up on another drive on the server (D:\).

My question would have been, if it is possible to have this feature in the onprem version or if I have to change the Root directory via the MobiControl DB.
But it seems most likely to me that I will have to change the default root in the DB, unless anyone knows of a better option.

To set a new root I would change the value of the entry "FileManagementFolder" or "FileStorageBoundaryPath" in the Settings.dbo to the folder where all the files for the existing sync rules are now.
