Google Desktop save index file in home folder. Index file is too large for home folder, so i need to move the file and also set new path for index file. How could i do this in google desktop? There is a way in window but i did not find any post for linux. Is it really possible to define google desktop index file path ?

  1. Rename the directory repo in ~/.google/desktop/ to something else.
  2. Create a directory in the destination location.
  3. Move everything from the renamed directory into the destination directory.
  4. Create a symlink to the destination directory, call it repo. (In nautilus, right click on the destination directory and click "Make Link")

EDIT: I think you meant that repo is a file. Then instead of making the new directory, just copy the file to the new destination and make a symlink to it.
