# Data Storage

When you launch the application the first time, you will be able to set the directory where you want to store your AppFlowy data. Click on `Set` to open the file explorer and choose your preferred path. In the example below, the data will be stored under G:\My Drive\05 Notes. Then click Quick Start.

If you can't decide at the moment, simply click Quick Start without changing the data directory. You will be able to change it in the application.
