Android Studio creates files in Dropbox folder (\Dropbox\.AndroidStudioPreview)

Android Studio puts .AndroidStudioPreview folder directly in to my Dropbox folder. I don't want them there since they are getting synced every time.

Does anyone know how to change the settings-path of Android Studio?

ANDROID_HOME var shows correct path:

C:\Users\Admin>set ANDROID_HOME

ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\Admin\Dev\Android

You can change the default location for your settings by editing idea.properties file located at

$STUDIO_INSTALLATION_DIR\bin\idea.properties

You need to edit following properties in file. Follow the comments in the file in order to change the defaults, make sure to un-comment the properties you are setting to bring them in action :

idea.config.path
idea.system.path
idea.plugins.path
idea.log.path

EDIT :

Check this if there is something wrong with your ${user.home} property

On Windows 7, how does Java JVM set "user.home" System property?
