I’m setting up a new Windows 11 PC with Cubase Pro 14. I will have a fast external drive attached to this PC. I have Cubase installed on the C drive. I have Groove Agent installed and one Groove Agent pack (songwriting) also on the C drive. I would like to add various other Groove Agent packs I have purchased - but I would like all that content to live on my external drive. Is there a way to do that?
Use the Steinberg Library Manager to move Steinberg content wherever you like.

Do I do this after I’ve installed at? or at the time of installation?
Either. Your default library location will be used when you install it. If you want to move it after, you certainly can. I really like the SLM’s operation - you can just move what you want when you want and then back again over and over without issue, and do so at the library level which is really nice (compared to, say, NI’s library “manager.”)
But yeah, whenever you want to do it

Great to hear that. Does the same thing apply to soft synth packages - Garritan, Kontakt etc? Thanks.
Yep I keep all my large libraries on a separate drive.
Cubase content and Kontakt libraries included.
Generally, yes. You can move Kontakt libraries around as well, but moving the entire set to a new drive can be a bit of a pain. You copy them first and can (sometimes) perform a mass move, but it’s messed up on me more than a few times. But yes, each vendor should provide for some manner of library management.
I’ve started installing lots of extra content. The default download folder is on my C drive. I changed that to a folder on my D Drive and downloaded all the installations there - Groove Agent content etc. After the installations have happened, I go look at my D Drive, and I see the folders for all my downloads. I see folders with all the right names, but those folders appear to be empty. I can see my C drive is 290 GB now - I feel like although I downloaded the installers to my D drive (using the Steinberg download assistant), the content must be installing to the C drive. Aside from setting the “Download” folder in the download assitant, is there something else I need to do for all this extra content to be stored on my D Drive?
I see - “LIBRARY MANAGER” - this should work. I think I’m set
