Using sandboxie with an external drive [SOLVED]

Post by stonerd » Thu Jan 07, 2016 4:04 pm

By any chance, is there a way I can create and run sandboxes on an external HDD?

Wow, as if it was 2 clicks away... I thought I knew that drop down menu well lol
Thank you both very much.

Also, if it's not too much of a burden, could someone let me know if changing the default file path to
" C:\Sandbox\%USER%\%SANDBOX%, I:\Sandbox\%USER%\%SANDBOX% "
Would give me 2 paths, like I'm hoping, or if it's just going to break my installation.

If you want sandboxes on multiple drives, you can leave the Container Folder settings as is, keeping a "Sandbox" folder on the default C drive, and then specify a drive and folder for multiple individual sandboxes like this:

Wow
I figured that part was outdated since it isn't written in the .ini by default.

Seriously, thank you so much. This has been passively bugging for months lol
