Hi, i`m running qbitottent 4.2.5; my torrents are saved to my 8tb external hardrive which is always getting full, can i just plug in my new other 16tb external hard drive and set the download folder to the new drive or would i have to copy the whole 8tb to the 16tb, as i`d stil like to seed the ones from the 8tb.
Is it possible to add more drive letters to the default save path?
Appreciate any advice.

For instance in qbittorrent  in: options>>downloads u can set the path
Image error
like could u add after G: in the picture?
i.e G: H:  if so what is the correct format, space no space comma? *edit for this sentence only (very strange in preview mode it shows the backslashes after G & H but the final post removes them from this post)

I do see now everytime when adding a new torrent to download (which i had not paid attention to before) it shows : Save at. and this is what i need to change instead of the main options for save path.
Image error
SO i`m guessing i everytime i add a new torrent i should change the save at location to the new drive and tick remember last path.
As Long as drive G is still seeding stuff i can continue adding new torrents to drive H thru this method.


Thxs for the replies:)
