How big is your Steam folder?

[mb]

:cries;
Account value: $3256.56. I have officially spent too much on steam.

Holy shit

89gb, 26 installed.

 

[damocles]

51 games installed including several MMOs. 226 GB

183GB, it has its own 1 TB drive

How do I switch which drive Steam puts my games on? I'd love to use one of my 1TB drives instead of my smaller c drive?

Uhh...install Steam on that drive?

I guess that would work but is there no way to point it to a folder on another drive?

I'm guessing no but I've never tried.

Zero bytes.

 

[RallyMaster]

52.3GB. 10 games installed. 16 uninstalled.

If I put in the other games I have installed on my computer (5 of them totaling 60.7GB), it's 113GB o.0

Aw man, when I saw your reply in the index I thought for a split second that Rossman had replied to my thread

No easy way - but you can do it by creating NTFS junction.

As a fun, semi-related side:

http://www.steamcalculator.com/

Use that to figure out the total worth of all the Steam games you own. Last I checked was after the first day of holiday sales. At that point I was at $423 or so. I've bought a couple other sales games since so I'm probably close to $450 now.

I'll edit in my Steam folder size when I get home.

Says mine is $2585.81
That is soooooo not right. Something is wrong.

*edit*
Oh I have 47.6 gigs of games installed. I'm sort of a neat freak, and don't keep games on this machine that I don't play.

480 GB, 155 games. The steam calculator is worthless - it rates my account at $2500 when I'm sure I haven't even spent $500. A lot of the reasons why people buy games on steam have to do with their sales so just listing accounts at face value isn't meaningful.

104GB now. It just took me three days to get The Witcher.

It does work, thats what i did. I dont think you can change it after you install it though without re-installing, I think you would have to backup the steam folder, uninstall steam, reinstall steam on the drive you want and then move the backed up steam folder to the new drive. I think that should work.

There is a way. I believe you just copy the entire steam folder to the new location and the delete the .blob file so it recreates it. It's been a while since I did it so I may be missing something, so google it.
