# Locations

BoltAI stores data (chats, folders, AI services...) locally. By changing these locations, you can switch between multiple "profiles" with different data and content. 

### Locations

To change the data locations, go to **Settings > Advanced > Locations**

BoltAI stores your data in 2 folders:

1. App data folder: Contains app's main data: folders, chats, AI services, model configurations, AI Commands, AI Assistants, Prompts... You may find generated images, speech files and screenshots here from the previous app versions.\
   Default Location: `~/Library/Application Support/co.podzim.BoltGPT`
2. Media folder: Contains generated images, speech files, screenshots...\
   Default Location: `~/Pictures/BoltAI`

Once you've updated the location, restart BoltAI for the changes to take effect.

### Cloud Folder

If you choose to store your data on a cloud folder like iCloud Drive or Dropbox, make sure to set the same **Encryption Key** for all your devices.

**STORING DATA ON A CLOUD FOLDER MIGHT RESULT IN DATA LOSS. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.**\
\- You will need to manage your own data, and resolve the conflicts yourself. We do not take responsible in case of data loss. \
\- BoltAI encrypts your API keys. To sync API keys across devices, make sure to use the same Encryption Key on these devices.
