Just open Steam’s settings and in the ‘Accounts’ tab is a ‘Beta participation’ toggle. To enable these new elements, you need to opt-in to Steam’s beta channel. To move installs, you select the game or games then use the ‘move’ button to fix the flub. I’ve slipped up a few times when installing, and now I have the ability to easily see what went where and to change things. One was an overspill drive for the games library, and the other was where I installed large games and mods. I added two new SSD drives to my system just for games.

Then, follow Steam > Settings > Steam Library Folders. If you click the gear icon on the top right of the page, it’ll take you to Steam’s settings, and in there, in the ‘Downloads’ tab and then ‘Steam Library Folders’, is the new storage manager. It’s not a huge change, but it feels more responsive and a bit more readable.
