I have several 1 to 2 terabyte external hard drives. I want to consolidate them all on a large 8 to 10 terabyte drive. How Can I do so that my bridge collections will still be intact and have all my files in them ? Thank You

It will very much depend on how you file the old drives content on the new drive.

All the basic info that you need should be in these topics (however the devil is in the detail):

P.S. I am happy to help if this is not as clear and simple to you as I make it out to be! :]

A collection is just a text file. If you use Bridge to move files, the Collection is automatically updated with the new file location.

Nice tip, I have never tried that!
