Moving a Server Folder

It is a best practice to move any folders you may have on your server boot drive (C:) to your
shared data drives. Use the following steps to move a folder on your server to another
location on your server. When you perform this task, ensure that the new location has a
maximum amount of free space.
Note: If possible, avoid moving a shared folder to your server's system drive (such as C:\ )
This may take away the necessary drive space required for your operating system
and its updates.
Note: Avoid moving share folders to an external hard drive. Once moved, you may not be
able to access these files in a folder on an external drive because they can be easily
disconnected. Instead creating the folder on an internal drive is recommended.
