Storing old data

[Axel64]

Hi,

I've been looking for a way to automatically put old data from the document folder on a slower HDD to get extra space on my SSD, while still having them appearing in the folder. I'm sure someone figured out a way to do that before, but I still didn't find any topic here nor on any other forum. I would like it to be indistinguishable between old and new files. Does anyone ever searched and found something like this ?

Thanks for your answers, any help is appreciated.

Folder redirection is what you need to set up.

Apple time machine would do that.  They’re so old they don’t even make em anymore though.
