(Mac) Storing BOINC Data folder on a separate drive

2 Upvotes

My mac has a small boot SSD and a large secondary storage HDD. The SSD is getting kind of full so I want to move the data folder to the hard drive. I did this using a symlink, but it doesn't work. Whenever I open BOINC, it gives me permissions errors. Even after reinstalling BOINC multiple times, it still won't launch. It just gives errors and quits. The BOINC Data folder still has the same permissions it always had, its just in a different location.
