What is the correct way to change where UltiSnips searches for snippets? I tried the lines below with no success:

let g:UltiSnipsSnippetsDir = "/newfolder/snippets/"
let g:UltiSnipsSnippetDirectories=["UltiSnipsNewDir"]

    Have you read the corresponding doc at :h UltiSnips-snippet-search-path? It precises that your directory UltiSnipsNewDir must be a sub directory of one of them defined in runtimepath, is your new directory placed in the right place?

I don't know what setting g:UltiSnipsSnippetsDir actually does either UltiSnip's documentation is misleading or this is a bug. However, adding your directory to rtp by itself does what you want.

set rtp+=/newfolder/snippets
let g:UltiSnipsSnippetDirectories=["UltiSnipsNewDir"]
