Anyone know how to tell not-so Smart Switch where to put temp files whilst doing the latest 7487 mb (it might have been 4785 mb) update. I have a small SSD for C:\ but absolutely masses of space on TWO other hard drives but Smart Switch insisted I didn't have enough room. There is no obvious way to change preferences to tell it to use a different drive. In the end I did it OTA using my home Wi-Fi.

Samsung Smart Switch? I just put the 2 phones on the table near each other and no PC required?
Did you install the program to the C drive? Uninstall and change the install location?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

Download the update file manually?
With my Samsungs I use ODIN to install updates.
Change the system variable to the temp download directory? Advanced system settings. It will change the download path for all tmp files though.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

Just a thought have you tried the previous Samsung tool KIES ??0

I have (I still have it on the PC as I still use the previous mobile) and as soon as you plug in the Galaxy S6, it tells you to ditch Kies and use Smart Switch.0

If you set the temp download directory then it should override the download folder of the program in question.
