  2. Save this file in a place where you can easily locate it. If possible, store it in the Projects folder of the My World folders. The path to the folder is:

My World GIS can open a project file wherever it is on your computer. However, to make it available through the Data Library, you must place it inside the My World GIS 4.x > data > Projects folder. The default location for My World GIS software is in the Applications or Programs (PC) folder.
