Move Zone folder to a different disk
Updated
While you can use the app's "Location on Disk" Zone setting to move a Zone folder to a new location on the same disk, it will not allow you to move the Zone folder to another disk or external drive.
This article describes how to move the Zone folder to another disk or external drive.
- Before moving the Zone folder, first open your Zone's folder in your OS's explorer/finder window
In your Zone, click the folder icon:
In the folder/file view, make sure you are at the base of your files for the Zone, and click the "open in OS" icon:
This will open a folder on your desktop:
Go "up" a level so you can see the folder from its base location:
Leave this open - you will cut/paste the Zone folder to a new location in step 3.
- Unlink / Disable your Zone
Next, you need to unlink your Zone from the app so that it is not active.
To do this, click the profile image/circle in the upper right of your app:
Select "Zones":
In the Zone list, select the Zone you want to move, and click "Disable":
Accept the warning, and you will see the Zone disappear from your Zone list and also from your Zone selector side bar.
- Use your OS explorer to physically move the Zone folder
Go back to your folder view and copy the folder:
Open a folder view to your external drive and paste the folder there:
- Restore your Zone folder from its new location
Go back to your Profile->Zones page and click the + icon and click "Restore":
Navigate to your external drive and select your moved Zone folder and click "Restore":
Voila - your Zone is now back up and running at your new location!
