Answers.Text: Thanks Brad! Yeah, I got it squared away last night. Such a simple adjustment that I kept overlooking due to other tasks I wanted to complete for my initial base build of Craft 3. Thank you so much for responding! Eddie

Answers.Body: <p>I am only able to speak about Craft 2x, as I am not familiar at all with how Craft 3 handles profile images.</p>
  
  <p>Here is where Craft 2x stores any uploaded profile image:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/craft/storage/userphotos/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is kind of a special asset source that isn't accessible like you would find an asset field that you create is. You <em>can</em> render the image, but as far as I know, you are not able to change it's location.</p>
  
  <p>Hope this helps!</p>

  In Craft 3 the place that users photos get stored in are proper Asset Volumes, meaning they can be stored in a folder on the local file system, or on S3, Google Cloud, or any other place that a plugin provides a Volume for.

  I am only able to speak about Craft 2x, as I am not familiar at all with how Craft 3 handles profile images.
  
  Here is where Craft 2x stores any uploaded profile image:
  
  ```
  /craft/storage/userphotos/
  
  ```
  
  It is kind of a special asset source that isn't accessible like you would find an asset field that you create is. You *can* render the image, but as far as I know, you are not able to change it's location.
  
  Hope this helps!
