aoh3 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'm attempting to save space on my internal SSD on my 2018 Mac mini... relocating Accordance and all the modules to an external SSD seems like a workable solution... has anyone out there had success and/or attempted this... any tips/suggestions certainly appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I know this can be done with Accordance for Windows, but I'm not certain it can be done on a Mac. If someone knows differently, please correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aoh3 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Thank you. Hopefully, some grace filled Accordance saint will be up for the challenge or has already slain this particular dragon... thanks to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy32792 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 On a Windows computer you will need to install the program itself on the main hard drive. You can store the support files (which are the largest part of Accordance) on an external drive: http://accordancefiles2.com/helpfiles/Win11/Default.htm#topics/13_winspecific/change_files_location.htm On a Mac, it is not as easy, but can be done by creating a Symlink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QByRKadjnEE This is not something that we officially support, but these instructions should get you started on this.

Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven S Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 @Anonymous, if you're on Windows, you should be able to use the Change Support Files Location command to move your modules to a different drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accordance Enthusiast Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Thanks Steven, I thought that the support files location only apply to the actual support module. Thank you for the information! Shalom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy32792 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The Accordance folder (which contains all of the modules and is by far the largest part of Accordance) can be moved easily to an external drive in the Windows version. The app itself and the preferences folder (which are much smaller) need to remain on the internal C drive. The modules can get up to several GBs and can all be moved to an external drive by following the instructions found here: http://accordancefiles2.com/helpfiles/Win11/Default.htm#topics/13_winspecific/change_files_location.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great service that the largest files can be moved. Shalom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
