# Portable Mode

{% hint style="info" %}
Portable mode is supported on Windows and Linux. It is not supported on Mac.
{% endhint %}

By default, Multiview for NDI will save configuration files, custom fonts, and images uploaded to the configuration file locations documented here:[Configuration File Locations](/tractus-tools-for-ndi/configuration-file-locations.md).

If you would like configuration files, images, and fonts to live inside the same folder Multiview is run from, place a file called `portable` or `portable.txt` in the same folder as Multiview's main EXE.

After that, restart Multiview for NDI. You'll see a new subdirectory called `config_and_data`. All configuration files will be stored here.

{% hint style="info" %}
A portable instance will also store activation data in that directory too.
{% endhint %}
