Soo, Am I missing something?, that eve launcher show the folder on configuration, I can browse, but can’t change?
we all know MACs generally lack storage and we all run ssds to compensate that…
I don’t get your problem. Why instead of “Browse Game Files” don’t you click on “Move Game Files Directory”?
Is this not available on MAC? Or do you have no account registered in the launcher? (then those buttons are also missing).
Just symlink it to a different path if that’s what you want to do.
Ok…i didn’t know that the MAC launcher lacks this option. Maybe do a support request so CCP gets aware of it or gives you an answer.
what’s a symlink? I want offload this huge installation to another ssd just that
It’s a symbolic link. You open a terminal, delete or move the old cache and then make a link that points the path to your SSD, this should be opaque the application. E.g.
rm -r '/Users/jlagedo/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache'
ln -s '/Some/SSD/Path/Folder' '/Users/jlagedo/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache'
Obviously I take no responsibility for anything.

I hope he/she read and thought about “move” before blindly executing as there is no moving in your commands.
Yes, if you didn’t make a backup via Finder or whatever first then move it instead.
mv '/Users/jlagedo/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache' '/Some/SSD/Path/Folder'
ln -s '/Some/SSD/Path/Folder/SharedCache' '/Users/jlagedo/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache'
