Hi everyone I noticed that ow was saving my “saved highlights” in an one drive folder(it also includes settings, logs and screenshots). And as the title says can I move them just “ctrl+x ctrl+v” or is there a way to change the directory in game? Cause I really could not care less if I lose them because I don’t want them occupying 3gb of my cloud
You can give this a shot. No idea if it works or not:
How to Change Save Location
STEP 1. Make sure your Overwatch 2 is closed.
STEP 2. Press the Windows Key and type %Documents% and hit Enter.
STEP 3. Navigate to
\Documents\Overwatch\Settings. Open the Settings_v0.ini file. Find MovieExport > add the line [MovieExport. 1] with your custom file location between the quotation marks: VideoPath = " "STEP 4. Save your changes and launch the game.

You could probably just make a symbolic link so that anything read or written to that directory goes wherever you want. Check out the mklink <link> <target> command. I am not going to explain how it works, but there are probably millions of tutorials if you care enough to do it.
I did this to make programs use different directories for their files regardless of where they are installed. It works in most cases depending on the program, because some programs are written to detect if a directory is actually a directory or a symbolic link and will behave differently.

This is how I’ve always done it
