_config.txt files in root of odrive folder (Win10)

[dazjjackson]

I’ve just noticed that there are two configuration files in the root folder of my odrive. Both by their name and content, they appear to be configuration files used by odrive itself:

odrive_user_general_conf.txt
odrive_user_premium_conf.txt

My questions are, why have these suddenly appeared, are they in use and should they be hidden?

They appear to have been created around 21st December and I do not recall seeing them before.

These files allow for some advanced configuration of odrive behavior, if desired/needed. They are loaded on odrive startup, but come with default settings. You can make them hidden, if you wish.

Hi @Tony,

Thanks for getting back to me - As long as they are supposed to be there I’m happy.
