Moving folders · How moving folders works
Will my apps and projects still work after I move their folders?
Short answer: Yes, while the drive is connected. A link is left at every original location, so editors, build tools, backup apps and scripts still find files at the same paths. Just don't move a folder an app is still writing to.
Yes, while the drive is connected. Storage Studio leaves a link at every original file location, so anything that opens a file by its path — editors, build tools, backup apps, scripts — finds it in the same place.
With Data Parking's Relocate action the whole folder layout stays where it was and each file becomes a link to its new home, so tools that walk the folder still see the same structure.
Two cautions:
- Don't move a folder while an app is still writing to it; Storage Studio holds such moves for you.
- If you work without the drive, the linked files can't be opened until it's back.
