I am unable to figure out how to change the default storage forlder for gpx-tracks. I have made a dropbox-folder on my phone, but as far as I can see, the only way to move the tracks is one by one.
Please tell me I have overlooked something. I want to be able to open the tracks from mye computer, use GPS babel, and then take them into Garmin Basecamp. So far, the only thing missing is to change the default storage location within Osmand.

IMHO, you cannot change just the folder for gpx tracks. What you can do is use FolderSync to sync this "extra" folder automatically to cloud storage. There are other solutions, using similar method - you would have the gpx track twice on your phone, once in Osmand, once in sync-able folder.

For this reason some people also use Syncthing. If you can spare some space on your laptop, why not setup a Syncthing config for OsmAnd? Then your map and track management becomes a whole lot easier.

Good luck.

FolderSync is istalled - and it works fine. Now I have access to all my tracks from my computer, by FolderSync and Dropbox. After converting with GPSbabel allt the tracks can be imported to Garmin Basecamp. Thanks for the assistance.
