Quick question: is there a way to move the packages folder out of the "Documents" folder on Mac OS to a new destination on an other partition? And/or better: to share the Max 7 packages folder with the Max 8 packages folder?

Why: I just installed Max 8 which duplicated my huge packages folder. My main (SSD) partition is now almost full and I desperately need some room. If I could put the packages folder on a HDD partition, I'd be more than happy.
