[QUOTE="SteveSawyer, post: 1921963, member: 415609"] New to Mac OS here. My Mac Mini has an old 1TB HD. I'm planning on replacing it with a 512GB SSD. That's going to leave me a bit tight for space. I have a good USB 3.0 1TB external SSD on which I'd like to place my "Documents" folder which has like 90% of all of my user files. Question: If I do this, is there any way to tell Finder that my Documents folder is no longer on the boot drive or to re-assign a top-level folder on the external drive as my "Documents" folder so it displays in the sidebar of the Finder? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
