Can we get option to move huge blob files to another hard drive. I tested that creating symblink and moving files to another drive works without problems to the app. But it will be better to do it from gui app 👍

Blob files are part of the data_dir location which can be configured on the daemon. This is a bit tricky because when you change this location, you'd need to close the daemon, move current contents to the new location (excluding the daemon_settings file (https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/issues/1375)), and then restart.

We are looking at solutions for the daemon side to get rid of blob files completely, and instead just generate them from the output file.

I tested it by creating symblink in original folder to new folder on other drive where I copied all files.
