Hello everyone,

Is there a way to move my library? It seems to have grown rather large and it would be best if it were on my data drive.

    Anthony, Logos wants everything to be on one drive. However, there are ways to do what you want. Check out this wiki article.

    Best of luck.

    An option to consider is uninstall followed by new install because Logos 8 now allows part of your Library to reside on Faithlife servers (you choose what to download for local use, including offline).

    Data "drive" on my primary 27" iMac is an internal SSD partition => https://community.logos.com/forums/p/188994/1091934.aspx#1091934 that has adequate space for my entire Logos library (133 GB used with 182 GB available). My older 2013 MacBook Air (MBA) has 250 GB internal SSD so deleting Logos 8 (using Logos Wiki steps => Uninstalling Logos for Mac) followed by new installation now uses 32 GB (with 7 % of my resources downloaded). Note: deletion was needed for me to get a new Logos 8 installation id on MBA since previously had cloned Logos quickly (with entire library downloaded).

    FYI: after installing Logos 8 on MBA and choosing resource(s) to download, used scan command to copy my 32 compiled personal books onto MBA for offline use, which includes => Suggestion: Discourse Greek NT more customizable (since encountered a bug with uploading personal books disabling indexing causing my pop-up text to not appear, use workaround of manual copying between my installations).

    Keep Smiling [:)]
