So I switched my Daz Content library from my C: drive over to D:. I copied everything in that folder over, re-installed Daz and refreshed content but nothing I downloaded/installed is showing up. Can anyone think of a reason that would be the case?
It seems like after re-installing and telling Daz to pull files from my new folder on D: it should be really simple. Im really new to this so I may be missing something obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to "Edit" > "Preferences", then click on "Content" tab and finally click in "Content Directory Manager".
Expand the directory tree and change the path using the "Edit" button ;)

I tried that. Removed C: and now the only thing is my Library folder under D: Still nothing. Very strange. Thank you for your input though.

You have to point to the root directory of the library (default: "My Library") in "Daz Connect Data", "DAZ Studio Formats" and "Poser Formats".

I appreciate your help but nothing seems to be working, Im just going to try to re-install all the content I want. I'll just use this as an opportunity to clean out some content I really dont want/need. Thank you very much anyway.

Daz does bizarre shit with directories. You need to manually copy Everything over to your new drive and set it in preferences. Thing is that wont get everything. Daz has directory structures that arent easily changed via that method.. it took me a day to figure out what it was doing with my render directory (i had daz content on 3 drives despite setting it to one). Click on my computer and search for daz there

One way to move/use another drive for your Daz3D assets (without having to change Daz3D's configuration) is to use and create a junction between your "my library" folder and another folder of your choice (located on a different drive or not).
