Possible to move ".Virtualbox" folder to different

Post by Meetloaf13 »

Is it possible to move the Users\xxxxx\.Virtualbox folder to a different location and keep VirtualBox operational?

Or would it be possible to make a folder on a different partition and have things pointed at that folder?

Check the settings of VB. You can specify a different machine and VDI folder. You can also use Junction to create a link to a different folder, like symlinks on linux.
