Where Does AnyDesk Store Config?
AnyDesk config, address book and logs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Last updated
AnyDesk keeps settings, address book entries and logs in per-user and system folders depending on install mode. Portable builds keep files next to the exe.
Install mode decides the root. Portable versus installed layouts explain most contradictory guides.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move AnyDesk settings?
Copy the config files (service.conf, user.conf, address book) with AnyDesk closed. The device ID follows the config on most installs; re-licensing may still be needed on licensed seats.
