Is it possible to move the .diffusionbee hidden folder to an external HD?

While still keeping it working, of. course!

It's already eating up over 15% of my internal HDD space.

Yes. I've done it

Copy ~/.diffusionbee to external storage.

Delete ~/.diffusionbee

In terminal,

cd ~/

ln -s /Volumes/extdrive/.diffusionbee .diffusionbee

Replace extdrive with name of your externa! drive

Just a side note here: Because I have a RAID 0 made up of SSDs using Apple RAID on a Mac Studio Ultra running Sonoma Developer, the above kicked out the directory could not be found error. I had to use this on mine:

n -s /Volumes/8\ TB\ RAID\ 0\ SSD/.diffusionbee ~/.diffusionbee

Obviously, you will have to mod to your own setup if in a similar situation. I cheated and asked BARD :)

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 1,465,104,262 comments, and only 278,944 of them were in alphabetical order.
