Steam folder install of games

Hello i try give me access to my other hdd i have fresh formated on ext4 for make steam folder and give steam access how i can

You can use Steam settings itself:

Steam > Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders

Another way might be to move that directory to your other hdd, then create a symlink back to the same location.

I have this exact setup.

1. have you made the hard disk read/writeable? You’ll have to do that first, I did it through terminal, and I followed the link in terminal.
2. You’ll have to have steam make SteamLibrary folder on your external hdd. You can do it the way @cscs recommends, or you can do so through download process of a game
   
   
   
   Then steam will make a folder first and you’ll have to “download” again.
