Assets download location

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to understand where assets that I’ve bought at the Asset Store go. Are they downloaded to a location on my computer, and if so is the best way to get them to my other (desktop) computer by portable drive, or should I download them again on that computer?

Also, I’m having trouble asking questions using the Answers forum. I click on the button at the bottom of the page, and nothing happens. I’m registered, logged in, and have paid for assets from the store.

Any help would be appreciated

Downloaded assets get placed in
C:\Documents and Settings%username%\Application Data\Unity\Asset Store

(This was answered somewhat in the forum.)

On Windows 7, Unity 4.2.0f4, I found them here:

C:\Users\<MyUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store\<Publisher>\<Category>\<AssetPackageName>

The files are gzip compressed archives.

You can manually extract or examined their contents with a program
such as 7-Zip

As a precaution, I usually explorer new assets in a new test project prior to importing into an existing game.
