Default File Location of a Virtual Machine
Unless you specify a file location for a virtual machine when you create it, Fusion saves the virtual
machine package to a default location.
The possible default file locations for newly created virtual machines are as follows.
n your home directory /Virtual Machines, the default virtual-machine folder for new installations
of Fusion 11 or later.
n your home directory /Documents/Virtual Machines, the default virtual-machine folder for
installations of
Fusion earlier than Fusion 11 and Fusion 11 and later installations that were
upgraded from a version of Fusion earlier than Fusion 11.
n The last location to which you saved a virtual machine.
When you use Fusion to create a virtual machine and you specify a virtual-machine location,
instead of accepting the default, your specified location becomes the default the next time
you create a virtual machine with Fusion.
For information about determining the file location of virtual machines available in the Virtual
Machine Library, see Perform Actions on Your Virtual Machines from the Virtual Machine Library
Window.
For information about changing the file location of virtual machines, see Change the File Location
of a Virtual Machine.

location.
