Hi All

I have installed Teamviewer in ubuntu 10.10 (not through wine but as a debain package), there is an option in Teamviewer that saves the sessions and connections logs, where can i locate those logs, i am looking for the path in ubuntu

Also is there any other log files i can access to determine the remote sessions to and from my ubuntu machine, Ive checked the one in Ubuntu i.e system >administartion>s system logs, but under auth log and any other log category they reflect logs for only last two days not extended logs. like a month or two back

Any help on this Guys???????

On my computer (Debian) Teamviewer logs and settings are saved in the following location(s):

Teamviewer 6

$HOME/.teamviewer/6

Teamviewer 7

$HOME/.teamviewer/7

Your home folder is full of hidden folders for user specific settings for all of your software. Since most software is ran as you, and not root, you don't have write access to the installation location of the software or /var/log, so a .software folder is created in your home folder. Kind of like the hidden folder C:\Users\username\AppData in Windows. In Linux/Unix, any folder or filename that begins with a period is hidden from view. If you check the option to "Show hidden files and folders" in whatever file browser you're using, and then go to your home folder, you'll see a ton of hidden folders with personalized settings for all of the software you've ever ran under your username.

Hi Budman/ gerowin

I found the logs in $HOME/.teamviewer/6 dir. Apart from this, where in /usr/var/log/ can be the logs for remote sessions by teamviewer. which folders or files i mean. I am attaching the screenshot of my directory below. Can you please point out..

My log files are kept in $HOME/.teamviewer/7/logfiles. As far as I know, nothing is stored in /var/log for Teamviewer on Linux. Since it looks like you're using Teamviewer 6, there's an identical directory for version 6, $HOME/.teamviewer/7/logfiles . These folders are symbolic links to other locations that are several layers deep, but browsing to them will get you to your log files.

    • OneDrive for Mac now lets you sync files to removable drives by Taras Buria If you use OneDrive on Mac and often work with external drives (a common sight among Mac users where internal storage is not upgradeable), Microsoft has some good news for you: the OneDrive client for macOS now supports removable drives, allowing you to sync files to external disks, both non-removable and removable. Microsoft introduced external drive support in OneDrive for Mac at the beginning of 2025. However, the initial rollout was limited to drives that macOS detects as non-removable. The company received plenty of feedback from users regarding this change, and it is now addressing the inability to sync files to removable drives. External drive support in OneDrive works the same way as syncing files to internal storage. If you unplug your drive, say, a portable SSD, OneDrive will stop syncing and notify you with an error message (there is a short delay for drives that sporadically disconnect). To resume sync, reconnect your drive and restart OneDrive. If you want to sync OneDrive to an external drive, your drive should be formatted for APFS (Apple File System) and protected by FileVault (read-only, network, and quarantined drives are not supported). Also, you need macOS version 15.0 or newer and OneDrive version 25.097 or newer. For now, external drive support is only available for insiders, but a wider rollout is coming soon. Finally, Microsoft adds that external drive support does not allow moving drives between devices. Therefore, you must set up OneDrive sync again every time you connect your drive to a new Mac. You can read more about external drive support in OneDrive for Mac in a post on the official Tech Community website. In other OneDrive news, check out our recently published guide, which details how to change OneDrive folder colors for extra personalization.
