Moving the Lightroom CC Library.lrlibrary

Is it possible to move the "Lightroom Library.lrlibrary" to another drive on my Mac Desktop. It is filling up space on my SSD and I want to move it to my internal storage drive. I have tried to create an Alias on a separate drive internally and it doesn't seem to like that.

I don't believe you can. I would also have suggested an alias.

There is a preference about how much disc space to use, and also local copies can build up.

I have the originals going to my external but it seems that LR CC builds a "previews" like library file for local use

Have you set the Target Available DIsc Space Usage? Mine is set to 0% and the Lightroom Library.lrlibrary file is only 300mb.
