kojack Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I am wanting to move my photos/videos/music/Documents to my 8tb HDD instead of on my C Ssd. Now, these are tied to onedrive, Do I move them the same way I moved downloads, just make the folder in the 8tb and move the location to that folder?

Aaron44126 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 If you have it set up to sync these with OneDrive, I think that you can just... Shut down the OneDrive client. Move your entire OneDrive folder to your 8TB HDD. (C:\Users\(username)\OneDrive) Don't change the folder name, it still needs to be "OneDrive". Start the OneDrive client. It will complain about the folder being missing. Tell it that you want to use a custom location and point it to where you moved that folder. Another way that you can move folders that Windows or applications expect to be in a certain location is: Shut down any programs that might be using the folder. Move the folder. Open an admin command prompt. Run the command: MKLINK /D "C:\path\to\old\location" "D:\path\to\new\location" This will set up a link so that the folder that has been moved can still be accessed using its old path, even if it is on a different drive. (Doing this for folders inside of a cloud sync'ed folder might not work out well, though, if the client doesn't handle symlinks properly. Moving the top-level folder should be OK.) 2 Dell Precision 7770 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • Full specs in spoiler block below Info posts (Dell) — Dell Precision key posts • Dell driver RSS feeds • Dell Fan Management — override fan behavior Info posts (Windows) — Turbo boost toggle • The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10 LTSC Spoiler Dell Precision 7770 (personal) Intel Core i9-12950HX ("Alder Lake"), 8P+8E 8× P cores ("Golden Cove"): 2.3 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading 8× E cores ("Gracemont"): 1.7 GHz base, 3.6 GHz turbo 128GB DDR5-3600 (CAMM) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 16GB (DGFF) Storage: 2TB system drive: Samsung 980 Pro, PCIe4 24TB additional storage: MDRAID, RAID 0 2× 8TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, PCIe4 1× 8TB Inland Performance Plus, PCIe4 Kubuntu 23.04 (KDE Plasma 5.27, Linux kernel 6.2) 17.3" 3940×2160 120 Hz display Intel Wi-Fi AX211 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth) 93Wh battery IR webcam Fingerprint reader Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 15.6" 3940×2160 display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth) 95Wh battery IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7530, 7510, M4800, M6700 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
