Question

MacOS - I need to install CC apps to External Harddrive

Hello

I don't know why this should be so difficult.

There's an option in CC Preferences to choose Install Location

It won't allow me to choose my external HD.

 

I literally just unistalled all the apps to update my MacOS, hoping to re-install on my external HD. 

My hardrive literally ONLY HAS my OS on it. I just run all the programs I use from my HD. Right now, I don't use anything but Adobe CC.

 

Is there anyway I can install these apps on my external ? 

 

If not, can someone please explain like I am 5 why this is not allowed?

you can't use an external hard drive and you can't use the root of a drive.  there's no work-around.

 

p.s. if the adobe cc desktop app is installed on your mac, you have more than just your mac os on your c drive.
