Move Lightroom Library on another HD ?

adrianLöw Oct 24, 2017 5:11 AM

Hello, I am very thrilled about the new Lightroom CC, the only thing is that I wished I could move the library file on another hard drive (that I use specifically for photos). Is this possible to do this ? Or should I wait for un update. I am using Mac OS High Sierra. I'm worried that Lightroom CC would create a lot of previews an store them in the library file, as I don't have so much space on my main hard drive.

Thanks !

The Library file can't be moved at this point, but in you look in Preferences > Local Storage, you can change the location for the originals and tell Lightroom roughly how much space it can use on your main drive.

I don't know - Adobe will be balancing and prioritizing all of the requests.
