By default, Cradle Hub will install plug-in file and content data to a number of default locations, outlined below:

Custom Content Locations
Before installing any products, you can specify a custom location to install product content to. To do so, head to the Settings menu in the top-right corner of Cradle Hub.
Here you can select a new location, which any plug-ins you install afterwards will search inside for the relevant content.
Where is plug-in factory content located?
Factory content — samples and presets — is installed in a subfolder of your Content Installation Location. You can find this setting in the Settings area of the Cradle Hub. For example, if you haven't made any changes, the default location for The Prince is:
-
macOS:
/Users/Shared/Cradle/The Prince
-
Windows:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Cradle\The Prince
Note that factory content is not available as raw (e.g. WAV) files but packed in proprietary containers. You can find out more information on content installation locations in the File Locations article.
