Hi,  
Why I have 1.5 GB of data in my library. OK for saving my Shaper projects but why the other folders (library, system data, tmp, etc…)  
Thank you for explaining.  
I’m attaching a screen shot of the path on mac Sequoia 15.3.

Not seeing it with my installation. There’s no Shapr3D folder inside my account’s Library/Containers folder.

Thanks TheBum  
Have you already synchronized your projects since the installation of Shapr3D?

Not sure how I missed it before, but I do have that path with 2.9GB of files in it. About 760MB is in a tmp subfolder, which I assume is just temporary work files and can probably be deleted. About 1.9GB are in the Documents subfolder and consist of workspace files and drawings folders (empty because I’ve never created a drawing), which I assume are local copies of all my projects.

Yup those in Documents and TMP are shapr files.

You can copy project files called workspace and give .shapr extension and open them back in Shapr.
