Suggestion: let me install the Apps on external hard drive

Hi! I use Mac with very low SSD volume (60 GB for all the system!). I use external hard drives as much as possible and still often stuck into No free space problem.

I tried to install Adobe apps on external hard drive also, but it doesn't let me and support says - Apps can only be installed on internal hard drive! This is sad...

Can you please upvote this thread for this feature to be implemented? This will boost productivity a lot on the machines with low free space (if any) on hard drives.

Many thanks in advance!

With regards,

Andrey

Honestly, a 60 GB HD would be totally useless  for the kind of work I do.   CC Apps need a supporting operating system.  And that's on the primary hard drive, not on externals.  Start looking for a new computer with a much bigger primary hard drive, good video card and plenty of RAM.

you're welcome.

p.s. i don't think adobe answers those requests.  i think the most you can hope for is that they compile the requests and note what are the most requested and easiest (and quickest and least problematic) to implement and then make decisions about what to do with future updates.
