Native Access can't download installers due to hard drive space

Joelyoung77

@Kaiwan_NI @dsr -- was there a work around provided? I am having the same issue. Ample amount of space on an ext.hrddrive - setting the download location, but it is saying I don't have enough - I've got 2TB of free storage.

Hi @Joelyoung77

Which version of Native Access are you running?

Which OS version are you running?

Hi @Joelyoung77

Thanks for the info.

Please provide us with a screenshot of your installation prefs in Native Access, as well as a screenshot of the error you experience.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Joelyoung77

Are you attempting to install your libraries to your external drive?

If so, you need to set both the Content and Download location to your external drive, not just the download location as shown in your screenshot above.

Native Access should then carry out the installations without requiring much internal disk space.

And as Jeremy_NI also wrote else where :

Yes, you're right, it's a little confusing but you got it right. The installation process requires temporary free space on the system drive regardless of where the file is downloaded to.

over a year later, this helped me a lot. I was running into the same issue, but it turned out that it was Native Access that was causing the problem. I updated it and my install (which was failing with 319GB available) is working now.
