Where Does FileBot Store Preferences and License?
FileBot keeps preferences and license in its AppData folder on Windows, with script calls for settings export.
Last updated
FileBot stores application files under the Windows AppData folder. Preferences, naming presets, and license state live there. Relocating the home directory moves FileBot data along with everything else.
Low-disk errors on C: trace to this folder filling with cache. Pointing AppData elsewhere shifts FileBot too. License and presets survive the move; only absolute media paths may need re-pointing.
Where FileBot stores this, by platform
%AppData%\FileBot
App data folder holds preferences, presets, and license. Move it by relocating AppData or copying the folder. Script calls handle settings export.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move FileBot to a new computer?
Copy the AppData folder to the new machine. It holds preferences, presets, and license state. Re-enter the license only if activation complains afterward.
How do I back up FileBot settings?
Run the settings export and import through filebot script calls. The forums document this as the supported route. Manual file copies work but the script path validates.
