I have an external HDD and I would dearly love to set it up as a back up to download too, to save some space for the SSD but, I want to also keep the SSD as also the main storage, but download when I want to the External HDD. Is it possible to have two working?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
How do I set the location of the Library in app's Preferences? I need to download large files and would like to bypass the download folder on my laptop to conserve space and have the files go directly to my external drive.
Sorry for not having responded, so I see, you can't have more than two places to store it on, so i was hoping to have it download to my main laptop then if i wanted to change also have it on my external, but also read it on my external if i want to save room from my main SSD. What I am asking is can I have it read movies from my external HDD if I have some movies also downloaded onto my SSD or will i have to switch from which place I have it downloaded to?
You could have the default library location on the primary drive, and make a copy of a media file to store on a secondary drive.
You can opt to not force consolidation into one media folder. Then library additions just keep their current file location.
There is no seamless way to switch between two sources. Each library item has one source file location. But if you try to start a media file that appears as missing to the computer, then it will ask to locate it, to repair the library link.
You may set the location of the Library in the app’s Preferences. That can be a folder on an external drive.
