When a program is installed, its location is registered with the operating system. Simply moving the folder to a new drive will cause the program to stop working. NeatShift provides a robust solution by relocating the folder and then creating a Symbolic Link in its original place. This link is a powerful type of shortcut that is transparent to the operating system, redirecting any request from the old path to the new location seamlessly. Common Use Cases: Free Up SSD Space: Move large game installations (e.g., from Steam or Epic Games) from a primary solid-state drive to a larger hard drive without needing to reinstall them. Centralize Data: Consolidate project files, documents, or media libraries onto a network-attached storage (NAS) or secondary drive while maintaining their original, accessible paths.
