Have you ever suffered from low disk problem due to the Oculus Rift games? That would be irritating and annoying. Have you ever been bothered to move Oculus to another drive to do it with mklink? Because you have to open “Command Promote” and type in mklink commands. This may not be difficult for the IT staff, but for the average user, this is clearly too complicated. Today we will introduce a good tool AOMEI Oculus Mover. It can help you to move the games to the directory of your choice to free up the limited storage space in the Oculus Games directory.
Oculus Rift can help you save a lot of disk space for future Oculus Rift VR games or the Oculus Rift’s upcoming game. Besides if you want to migrate games for Oculus Rift, Oculus Game Mover can help you to move other items out of original storage space, such as Oculus Rift videos, apps, pictures, music, etc.
Compared to the traditional way to move Oculus to another drive is to do it with mklink, AOMEI Oculus Mover is a new way to simply select the source and target location from a windows type interface to migrate Oculus from one drive to another.
How Does Oculus Mover Works?
You should firstly get and install Oculus Mover on your PC before moving virtual reality PC games or applications. If the target is an external device, insert it into your computer. We suggest you to migrate VR supported games to local instead of external/removable drive. If you can make sure that the external/removable hard disk is connected to your PC when you use Oculus, it is feasible.
Step1. Download AOMEI Oculus Mover free 2.0, then install and open Oculus Mover. In its main interface, the source location is automatically detected and is listed in game directory column.
Step2. Specify the target location. Select a location that you want to save the moved Oculus Rift games or applications.
Step3. Confirm the movement. If everything you set is alright, please press “Start Move” to start migration.
Tip: Please move the Oculus Rift game to your destination, because the target location will not be covered.
