Hey guys,

I have a massive mobile apps folder that is about 30gb. I would like to move just the mobile apps folder to my external drive, but I have yet to find a method that will work. I know that iTunes does not allow symbolic links anymore, so that option is out. I also tried to consolidate the files to the external drive, yet you cannot consolidate mobile apps! Is there any way I can move only the mobile apps folder, and let iTunes know that the new location is where I want all new mobile apps to go?
 
I have been doing quite a bit of research and I have yet to find a method that I feel will work. I have read guides about moving movies and tv shows, but I have not found anything recent on moving mobile apps. Does anyone have any experience with this?
