External hard drive / project cache folder
 

Apologies if this has been asked every day. But,

* How do I use an external hard drive? Do I need to?

I haven't found a way to save new projects to anyplace but the cloud and that hidden protools/project cache folder. Is it even possible? Do I need to upgrade to a non-free version?

I've used protools LE 6 for 15 years on an old laptop and external hard drive and Mbox. I FINALLY upgraded to a scarlett 2i2, protools first, and use it with a newer laptop. I can plug in my old, old external drive and this new laptop and protools first read it and open old files. But new projects? I haven't found a way.

Thanks in advance,
--John

No, there is no way to change the storage location in Pro Tool First.
You would have to move up to the paid version to get that functionality.
