Hi @john john - You cannot change the OST file location on the existing Outlook profile. You will need to create a new Outlook profile and then configure the OST file path location as required. This should help: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/troubleshoot/data-files/cannot-change-the-location-of-ost-...

i were able to do so by modifying the registry key
