Opslaglocatie iCloud drive
 

Hallo,

Graag wil ik op mijn Windows machine de locatie van mijn iCloud drive wijzigen. Hij staat nu op de C-schijf, deze is maar 64GB SSD. Graag zou ik hem naar mijn dataschijf van 1TB zetten. Wie weet waar te beginnen?

Alvast bedankt.

Dit werkte voor mij:

Very important: disable the iCloud Drive from the control panel. We will be delete this folder and as a result, the delete may remove everything from your iCloud Drive (it may also be necessary to quit all iCloud related processes from Task Manager).
The next important thing to keep in mind is the actual name of the iCloud Drive folder it is "iCloudDrive" and not "iCloud Drive" (notice the missing space; it is just set-up to appear like that).
Now create the destination folder on your other drive (or where you would like it to be). I suggest using a folder name like "iCloudDrive" or "iCloud Drive" (to easily know what is inside).
Now open Command Prompt (PowerShell should also work) in Administrator mode.
Type in the following command (the following variables are used: <username> - the Windows account's username; <destination> - the path to the destination folder, including it's drive letter):
mklink /J "C:\Users\<username>\iCloudDrive" "<destination>"
What this does is create a Directory Junction type symbolic link. In short it allows you to have more than 1 path to get to the same content (iCloud Drive will use the C-drive path, whereas to data will reside on your destination drive).
When this command have been performed, Command Prompt will give a message that the link have been created (In your user folder, you will see a shortcut folder with the name "iCloudDrive").
If you had to quit all iCloud related processes, restart your computer for them to correctly startup.
Now go to iCloud Control Panel and re-enable iCloud Drive (it may take a while for all your data to download).
If it worked, you will find all your data in the destination folder. When going to the original location, it should still be a shortcut folder, and when accessing it, you may notice that the path remains on your C-drive (this is what iCloud Drive will use to add the content).
You may also notice the difference when checking the properties of original's and destination's properties.
If it did not work, retry, this time quitting the iCloud related processes.

Mijn dank is groot!

Deze MKlink oplissing werkt ook prima voor de backup locatie van iTunes (niet de data locatie, die kan je handmatig instellen). kan je nog meer ruimte vrijmaken op je c: schijf

Niet nodig
 

Heb geen iTunes geinstalleerd op m'n windows machine. Daarvoor gebruik ik m'n macbook air. Toch bedankt voor het meedenken!

Tja, dan is het denk ik handiger als je in je profiel Mac os zet ipv Windows. Dat scheelt weer werk voor anderen.

Mijn vraag voor Drive was op Windows. Ben werkzaam in de IT, dus dat is nu eenmaal het besturingssysteem wat ik het meest gebruik. Daarnaast heb ik nog een MacBook.
