My free book: Originally recorded 10/09/2020 [0129 Moving default Brave browser profile folder to custom location (eg. Firefox, via symbolic link)] 2020-10-09 1. Install Brave 2. Locate default Brave appdata folder, something like: C:\Users\[you]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware 3. Copy and paste Brave folder to new location. 4. Delete Brave folder in original location. 5. Create text file with old and new Brave folder locations: mklink /j “C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware“ “Z:\[whatever]\BraveSoftware“ 6. Change text file to .bat then run it to create the symbolic link. Thanks to DrJester for giving me the steps on reddit:
