My local CC Sync Folder is on my system hard drive, and is fairly large-ish (25gb)... can I simply move it to a different drive?

thanks!

Correct answer kglad

use your cc app > files > preferences to change your sync folder. then you can delete the old one.

Sorry, should have been more clear- I'm referring only to my Sync Folder (working files), not my Apps (Mac) folder, which is where the apps live. (Original post edited)

thanks

Didn't work, unfortunately. After a while, I just got an error message saying the directory couldn't be created. I don't know if there's anything that's supposed to show progress.

Any suggestions?

Can I do this manually?

you can't use the root of a drive and you may have have trouble using an external drive.

if that's not helpful, explain what drive/folder you're trying to use.

no.

you can uninstall your cc apps from your os drive and install them to another hard drive.
