Moving default Sync folder to another drive

Support

Another approach, instead of the symlink, would be;

  1. Shut down syncthing.
  2. Move the folder where ever you like, including the .stfolder marker (or you need to create that again, as you discovered).
  3. Edit the folder path in the config.xml directly.
  4. Start syncthing.

The index that is kept per folder is keyed on folder ID, not path, so this is relatively safe.
