Resource Data on a Different Drive than Application

Is there a way for me to have Logos download and index all of the resources using a different hard drive than where the application is running? I want to run the application on one drive and have all the data accessed on a different drive, but cannot find a setting in Logos to make this happen.

Potentially but not supported by Logos

See https://wiki.logos.com/Install_in_different_folder_or_drive for some guidelines

Why do you want to do this?

Logos is one of only two programs I use somewhat regularly that do not have a good robust and affordable option to run from the cloud. I am to a point where I just use a Chromebook to do just about everything for work. Logos is an exception. One potential workaround I have found is a service called Fra.me, which allows you to affordably rent a virtual Windows desktop for those applications you want to be able to access from the cloud. However, the pricing goes up depending on how much disc space you need. I am only running two applications on it and Logos, by far, is the biggest disc hog. What I have done for he other application to conserve disc space is to have all the data for the program reside on my Google Drive and just run the application on my virtual Windows Desktop. If I could get Logos to do the same (i.e., save all the resource data on my Google Drive), that would make the service that much more affordable to me and a workable solution until Logos has a more robust cloud solution available. Logos is running fine on Fra.me for me, but is requiring me to purchase lots of additional disc space. I would prefer to put all that data on a drive linked to my virtual desktop.

Thanks for the explanation - sounds interesting!

My guess, however, is that the performance you would get would be less than you would like.
