You don't want apps on external drives.
Also you don't want the last copy of what you can't lose on an external drive.
Try this. Place a copy on the external of your files and make a backup on DROPBOX.

I recently bought a 1TB external hard drive (j)because my 120GB primary drive (c)is full.I want to delete files and some programs from (c) and redownload to (j)- how do I set the (j) drive as the default download location? And can I more easily just send them to the other drive?
Thank you,KC
