Installed DevKinsta after a bit of an argument over Docker and MacOS 11, went to set up the environment, and in settings \> site path, when I try to point to where I want my sites kept, I get the following error:

External Drive is not supported for Project Path?

I use an external HDD synced to Google Drive to store all of my work. I there a particular reason as to why I cannot use an alternative drive for DevKinsta?

Hey @Soron thanks for sharing the requested info and the main.log file! It’s really helpful.

Just one more thing—could you provide a screenshot of the **“Site Path”** setting with the error?

I ran some tests on my end and was able to replicate the issue. I’ll be reporting this to our **DevKinsta developers** for further investigation.

We’ll keep you posted in this thread as soon as we have any updates!
