You need to put it where uplay is set for the default download/install directory. So if you set uplay to C:\Games\ you should put it in C:\Games\Watch_Dogs.

Uplay kinda sucks and this does not always work, i tried moving drives on the same system and Uplay still needed to DL the full game again, even though all the files that worked on my Win7 install were in the correct directory for my Win8 install. Kinda annoying since all games from both steam and origin made the move without issue. It may be worth noting that I tried starting the install to build the initial directories before closing uplay, copying over the files from the other drive, then attempting to launch the game, which verified files then started the DL from the beginning.
