I have tried everything: "library_folder": "/Volumes/WD SSD/NEXUS library"
I have put Libraries in the Library/Audio/Presets/reFX/Nexus Library folder

Nothing shows up and the Libraries are all 4 and 5.

Please!! Please Help!!!!

Please from a Mac guy not a PC guy.

 

You have to edit your settings.json file so that it points to the correct locations.

On an external drive, everything can go in a folder /NEXUS library, at the root of the drive. So /Volumes/drive name/NEXUS library.
Then go to /Users/Shared/reFX/nexus and edit settings.json, for these 2 lines as needed:

"library_folder": "/Volumes/drive name/NEXUS library"

"user_folder": "/Users/Shared/reFX/User Content/nexus"

Make sure your permissions are correct on the external drive folder.

 

What about PC guys? I can't find the settings.json to edit the library location

Can't people read I said I put all the settings in the settings.json file that's what's showing in the original post.
It DOES NOT WORK. I have done this many times for older versions of Nexus with no problems.

 

Make sure the path to your folder is named correctly. I made the mistake of using Terminal to define my folder path so I got back slashes included which caused Nexus to not see the content folder.

So instead of:

"/User/Nexus\ Library"

Its just:

"/User/Nexus Library"

Or whatever the path to your folder is minus any backslashes. My content immediately showed up when I made those changes to the folder path in settings.json

 

Heres how mine is setup i had simlar issues and i dont remember exactly how to fix it but my path works as follows:

"cloud": {
"sync": false
},
"crashUploadMode": 0,
"crashUploaderLastRun": 1755373722087,
"deep_verified": true,
"last-license-warning": 0,
"last-update-check": "2024-12-01T01:28:35.990+02:00",
"lastCrashAsk": 0,
"lastCrashUpload": 0,
"library_folder": "/Volumes/Nexus Lib Main/reFX - Nexus 4 Complete/Nexus Library",
"ui": {
"default-font-size": 20,
"default-scale": -1.0,
"default-scale-applelogic": -1.0,
"default-scale-studioone": -1.0,
"hardwareAcceleration": true,
"limitAnimations": false
},
"user_folder": "/Users/Shared/reFX/nexus",
"version": "5.1.1"
}

 

also it is important for the Json to be located in the proper spot: /Users/Shared/reFX/nexus

 

I went thru this same predicament a while ago and I ended up leaving the settings.json file ALONE and making a symlink that resolved all of this entirely. I too, have all my banks on an SSD. Here's the thing, I had ChatGPT help me with the commands and how to enter them in, so I can't help much there. I'm sure some quick research on how to set a system link file will solve your problem
