Can anyone help me - where can I find the location of a lucidchart - my folder path that it is stored in?

Solange,

Select the File → Move to… and it will show you where that file is currently located.

 

Hopefully that is what you’re wanting.

Thanks,

Rick

Hi ​@Solange 

Lucidchart documents are cloud-based, so they are not stored in a traditional folder structure like local files on your computer. However, you can find your document's location within Lucidchart by following these steps:

1️⃣ Check "My Documents" in Lucidchart

  • Click on the Lucidchart Home Dashboard (lucid.app).
  • Navigate to "My Documents" on the left sidebar.
  • Use the search bar at the top to locate your file by name.

2️⃣ Check Shared Folders

  • If the document was shared with you, go to "Shared with Me" in the left sidebar.
  • If it belongs to a specific team folder, check under Team Documents.

3️⃣ View Recent Documents

  • If you recently opened the document, go to "Recents" on the dashboard for quick access.

Since Lucidchart stores everything online, you won’t see a traditional "folder path," but you can create custom folders in your My Documents section to organize your files.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks Ria. Yes I understand that my folders in My Documents is just labelling but whilst I can find the chart I want by searching I‘m trying to find (remember) where I “stored” it within my “folders”. You used to be able to see the path in one of the File menu options.
