Moving Ableton folder on Mac

Post by archonic » Mon Mar 20, 2023 12:48 am

Hi all,
I want to move my Ableton (/Users/Me/Music/Ableton) folder to my Desktop folder, so it can be backed up in iCloud drive and I don't have to worry about losing poopyshit.mp3 to another laptop milk spill. Are there any complications I need to know before I drag and drop?

Nope. Just make sure to then relink it in Live's Preferences.
If you're just backing up to iCloud then ok, but if you're actually hosting everything and streaming your files from the cloud be prepare to expect some performance issues. I'm not saying it will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does.
