10. Select the paths where you want to install the programs and files of Allplan 2019.

    Program folder: Program files are always installed locally on every workstation. Normally, you can accept the folder proposed by the program.

    Central file storage folder: Projects and the office standard are saved in this folder. If the workgroup option is installed, the folder also includes the data for network administration in the \Net folder. The central file storage folder can be installed locally or on a file server. When you install the program with the workgroup option, the folder you specify here acts as the central file storage folder of the workgroup. Please read the notes on the central file storage folder with network installations.

    Local file storage folder: This folder is used to synchronize the data of the central file storage folder and the data of online projects. If you do not specify a folder, the program synchronizes the data of online projects with the LocalData folder, which is a subfolder of the central file storage folder. You must specify a local file storage folder on the local computer if you want to access Allplan online projects from a mobile computer (for example, when you work from home or as a freelancer). It is not absolutely necessary to do this if you use a stationary computer with permanent access to the central file storage folder.
