Hi all :  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I want to sync perforce files to another folder ( not the default client root).  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So I modified the "override Start in Directory " value&nbsp; in "Depot and Files" tab in "Perforce Sync" function  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But it still sync to the default client root .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Does anyone know how to solve this question ?  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; please see the attachment for details ...  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks in advance.

BRs

Jerry

I don’t think you can get Perforce to sync outside of a defined client workspace. If you want to sync to another directory, you need to setup another client workspace with a different root.   
  
 Also, according to the FB Help doc, the “Override Start in Directory” only changes where p4 is run from.
