I'm on a Laptop can I make everythign from Native Access install onto my other drive?

Kantankerous

I'm on a laptop and my C: drive isn't that big and I'm trying to install all of the plugins I got with Komplete. Is there a way I can make everything install to my E: drive?

The apps and the plugins themselves usually is installed to the system drive. What you change is the Content location and the Download location in Native file management settings.

If you already have installed 'content' (Kontakt libraries and expansions) then you can move them.

Be sure to be using latest version of Native Access for your OS

Know that you can only "redirect" specific sections of your NA stuff to another location. Those sections are your Downloads and your actual library Content.

First ensure you have your E Drive attached and the OS knows it is there.

Then in Native Access - go to Preferences→File Management and set the Content Location to your E: Drive.

Dependant on space - I would also set your Download Location to the E Drive as well

Always leave the Application Location set to your C Drive.

Remember too that NA will install ALL your actual VST3 plugins - by default to:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3.

This location is a system managed location and cannot be overridden within NA. Strongly recommend that you never alter any of your plugins (the actual *.vst3) files once they are installed here.

@Vocalpoint

What exactly is the Application Location? Is it just the Native Access app or parts to each plugin?

This area houses everything that is NOT an actual plugin - for your entire Native Access install base:

In other words - it's critical. None of your stuff will work without the stuff in this folder structure.

And I strongly recommend leaving it in it's default location - on the C drive.
