Moving database to another hard drive

DEVONthink Tips
1

Hi. I’m trying to free up some space on my main hard drive. I cannot find where my DT database is. (.dtbase). I did a search on the drive, which found nothing. First question is: is it called something else?

The only related files I found is a folder in the Library/Application Support/DEVONthink consisting of backups. Am I able to move those also to another drive?

How do I go about doing this? Do I need to make symbolic links or aliases, or how can I direct DT to the new location? thank you. This is provided I can locate the database!

If you’re using DEVONthink Personal, then all your data is stored in the folder ~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink. But if you’re using DEVONthink Pro (Office), then your data is stored in .dtBase packages. By default they’re located in the ~/Documents folder.

Or just launch DEVONthink and have a look at the Database Properties panel showing the path.
