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.
  • your home directory
    /Virtual Machines
    , the default virtual-machine folder for new installations of
    Fusion
    11 or later.
  • 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.
  • 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
    .
