Storyline 3 Temp Files
Oct 02, 2020

Hello,
I'm currently working on a monster project with lots and lots of video content. I'm running Storyline 3 on Parallels on my Mac and I'm having real problems with the amount of temp files storyline is creating in %AppData%. The problem is, once it's full, there's nothing I can do to empty that folder of old versions because the virtual machine stops working until I've made more space.
Is there a way I can get Storyline to place these files onto an external drive? My internal drive is only a small SSD which is causing the issue.
Thanks!
Dan

I always keep an alias to tat folder on the Mac side and periodically delete them.
If I am using lots of videos I can do it maybe 1-2 times an hour.
Thanks Phil - could you tell me how to create an alias please? That would certainly solve the issue!
If you right click on the folder in Windows and choose show in finder then either choose file/make alias or hold option+command and drag it to your desktop that should create an alias and move at the same time.
You can also run windows from an external SSD/HDD and via thunderbolt the latency will be very low
Fantastic, thanks a lot for that, you may have just saved my sanity!!
