Data Transfers · External drive and disk space
How do I move a half-finished download to another drive?
Short answer: Select the paused download and click Move to another drive, then pick a disk with room. What's downloaded is copied there, checked, and the download continues — nothing is fetched twice.
When a large download shows Needs space, select it and click Move to another drive. Choose a disk with enough room; Storage Studio copies what's already downloaded there, checks it, and picks the download back up — nothing is fetched again.
If the chosen drive is too small, you're told how much it has and how much is needed, and nothing is moved. If a piece doesn't copy across intact, the move stops and the original stays where it was. Either way the download is still paused, not failed, so you can try another drive or free space instead.
