    • Hola,

      En un Mac, el almacenamiento sin conexión por defecto de Spotify suele estar en la siguiente carpeta:

      ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify/PersistentCache/Storage/

      Si has movido esta carpeta y quieres devolverla a su ubicación original, puedes :

      Cerrar Spotify antes de hacer ningún cambio.

      Mueve la carpeta que has cambiado a la ruta anterior.

      Reinicia Spotify para ver si todo funciona correctamente.

      Si no encuentras la carpeta, puedes probar a mostrar los archivos ocultos abriendo el Finder y pulsando Cmd + Mayús + . (punto).

      Espero que te sirva de ayuda.
