I run iclone on my macbook pro running bootcamp. Since its a bootcamp partition, there's not a lot of hard drive space, so I rely on an external drive for most of my storage requirements. Unfortunately, iclone demands to be installed on the system drive, which is manageable. Unfortunately, I can't install jack shit from the content marketplace due to lack of space. I have 10 gigabytes free, yet when I try to install my recently purchased content I get "The hard disk space for the template is not enough. Please free up some disk space and try again". It's just the "Big bad wolf" content from the content store. I'd find it hard to believe it needs 10 gigabytes to install, but its admittedly not a lot of space. Is there a way I can install it onto my external drive with several hundred gigabytes of space?

I'm a PC user, so I'm speculating here but 10 GB free on your hard drive is problematic as IClone also creates temp files for crash recovery. So it may be that iClone takes that into account when looking at space requirements.

The only way to change the content storage location (apart from editing registry settings) is to uninstall and then reinstall while specifying a new location for Reallusion content, which can then be your external drive. 

I don't know how bootcamp does things, but I assume that you can assign a drive letter (a typical windows thing) to the external storage?

You don't need to reinstall content. Once your new drive is in place you can just copy it over from the old location. The exceptions are the Resource pack and any Bonus packs that come with iClone. They need to be reinstalled.

Uninstalled everything then reinstalled hub, then iClone.  NEVER had any options for anything.  How do you get the options?

When you install iClone there is a step during the install process where you can set the locations for Template and Custom. It is just after the step where you specify where the application is to be installed. I found an older screen capture, but it should still be the the same:

It is set to the default location, which you can change by clicking "Browse" and then navigate to a new location.

Just stumbled upon the same problem.
Went through ALL of the responses on ALL of the various threads.
Was very disappointed with what I found.
Also, very disappointed w the lack of response or solutions provided by the talented folks at Reallusion.
Customer Service or Assistance or personal contactability has never been a forte.

It does seem that a left click move option has been added. Allowing the Customer to manually, ONE BY ONE, relocate asset store content to a new location, thereby freeing up space.
Spent 4, FOUR HOURS moving both my iClone & CC+ libraries to m E: drive. (HDD)
Got 60g+ back.

You can now store and move your content across multiple drives using Smart Gallery. Please watch the tutorial below and all will be explained.
