Storage problem

Hello,
I have accumulated a lot of content for the DAZ Studio over time. This is now 4 terrabites and occupies an external hard disk almost completely. What tips are there if I buy more content? Do I need to buy a larger external hard drive or how can I solve the storage problem? Thanks for the help, Robby.

I don't know how your space on the drive is used, or if it can be optimized.
But I would suggest to buy a new drive. It doesn't necessatily need to be larger. You can leave you existing content on your current drive and just direct your new content to the new drive. The smaller the drive of course with the risk of filling that as well.
OK, but then I would have to connect the new content on the new, second drive, in DAZ studio also new - so tell DAZ studio the path for the new content. " Right?
Yes, in Daz Studio you would add a second path for Daz Stodio and potentially also Poser content.
And in DIM (assuming you are using that) you will just point it to the new path. It will know whether content has been installed on the old or the new path from the manifest files.
Ok , thanks.
