I have some large files in my home folder which are causing issues with Finder, and I need to store them elsewhere, but as of macOS Catalina, the root filesystem is Read-Only. I've seen some solutions involving using Recovery Mode to modify your root folder's permissions, but is there honestly no-where you're supposed to put stuff outside of ~/
without doing this?
~/
dir. Upon speaking to Apple support, we determined that having these large files in there is why Finder is halting when I start it. I didn't really feel that part was relevant though, I just want to put things in a folder outside of my home directory without doing anything too crazy with modifying root permissions via Recovery mode etc.
