Sorry if this is the wrong section but i wasn't too sure where to put it and i was thinking about putting it inside " Technical " but this isn't really a technical issue. It is a problem yes but i'm pretty sure it can be resolved. So my question is this: Can i move the content folder? I have a rather large drive but my main drive isn't it. I have 3 drives. The drive i'm trying to move it to has 200Gbs worth of space. Daz can fill it but it has to come off my main drive. I can't keep comprimising. Is it possible to move it or set a new directory?

    If you search the forum, you will find multiple threads on how to do this but the short answer is that you back up your metadata, you copy the content folder to the new location, you point the content manager in Daz Studio  to the appropriate content folders and runtimes for your Poser-like content,  you run a little free script that Daz3d provides that helps make sure all of the connections are correct, you open Daz studio to make sure you can see all of your content, and finally you delete the old content folder that is in the place that you don't want it.  

    I think this is the most succinct: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/293476/move-content-library-to-a-different-drive/
