I download data into data folder once, will platform redownload or use the data in data folder? Do I need to setup manually something in platform?

We are not understanding this question. Each Sierra Chart instance is separate. You can not share the data folders, doing so would create problems. Also, the data is only downloaded once for each installation and then it is on your hard drive. It does not matter what service you are connected to.

whats the MB limit per week?

There are no limitations on how much data you download from us.

Are there any hacks how to prevent using all data right away in first day?

We do not understand this question.

this limit is applied on historical data only, right?
Can I specfify for each chart separatelly hpw much days should be loaded? Partially from data folder, new downloaded

Each chart specifies how much data it will display. The amount of data initially downloaded depends on your setting for "Maximum Historical Intraday Data to Load". Refer to the following:
Data/Trade Service Settings: Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Download (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings)

in intraday data will be loaded max 2 days of data or I can specify it to for example 4 days for each chart window separatelly?
In this case, if I ll have those data in data folder already, it ll be loaded from there and not redownloaded completelly, right?

As stated above, each chart specifies how much data is displayed. The amount of downloaded data depends on the setting mentioned above. If you need additional data for a chart, it will be downloaded.

should I set continuous contract to none for historical or also intraday? Heard thats supposed to be helpfull for rithmic.

This is a personal choice. It depends on how you want to view the data.

can I perhaps specify, load just OHLC timeframe chart, no bidxask? That should reduce the data for correlation valuation only.

No, you can do this for intraday data.

rithmic cant be used on 3 installations? or sub-instances?

The Rithmic connection that is used only allows for 1 connection to that account at a time. So multiple installations can not access the same Rithmic account.

anything else to look at for the best function it could possibly have despite some problems with rithmic.

Not that we can think of.

I was thinking to lets say have 30d historical (TPO with split, vol profile), intraday 5d or less intraday (price action, footprint), intraday 2d or less orderflow (heatmap etc) for every product and there would be around 6+ of them.
Rest of the charts should basically use data from data folder and the 30d historical data file downloaded before, right? Or for intraday is neccessary new download?

For a single installation, there is a single file for each symbol. If you need 30 days of data, then there will be 30 days of data in that file and each chart pulls the data from that file.
