[GRASS-user] Open GRASS at remote grassdata

Hi -

I am trying to open GRASS 8.3 using a grassdata directory located on a personal cloud storage device. GRASS opens using the grassdata last used, and I see no way to navigate to the storage device instead. I tried deactivating the grassdata in my home directory in the hope that it would result in dialogue to navigate to an alternative. But no such luck. I just get a temporary location.

It appears that as late as GRASS 7.9, the first window to open provided the opportunity to select a grassdata located elsewhere - that was not the last used or present in home. Has the new GUI changed this, or am I just missing something obvious?

Any help much appreciated!

Yes, this has changed, you can add a new directory from the data catalog:
