Here's how to locate your Steam Game Files Folder, if you're using Windows 10. Hope, this video can help you out! Steam Gift Card: M. To enable it you need to open then Steam console by going to ' steam://open/console ', and then enter 'bEnableNewContentManagement 1' to enable the feature (and 0 to turn it back off). To find the Download folders you go into Steam Settings - Downloads - Steam Library Folders. Once the styling on it is cleaned up, it looks to be far more. If you have a game installed then finding the Steam folder is really easy. Open Steam and go to your Library. Right-click a game and select Properties from the context menu. In the Properties window, go to the Local Files tab and click Browse Local Files.
Until we get 1TB SSD’s for less than $1000, space on them is always at a premium. One strategy is to split your Steam game installs between drives. For slow loading or games you play often, you might want those on your SSD. For infrequently played games, you likely want those on a big, cheap platter drive. Steam gives you the ability to have multiple libraries on multiple drives, but it doesn’t always work as expected.
I tried recently to add a library to a big platter drive, and got the message 'Failed to add new steam library to folder'. I tried all kinds of ways of creating the library, but always got the same message. My drive was not out of space, I had adequate permissions. I started/restarted steam. No luck.
The problem:
Failed to add new steam library to folder
The issue is that the Steam client cannot add new libraries while anything is happening to the existing game library. In my case, one single game (way off the bottom of the screen!) was updating. This activity prevents the Steam client from being able to add a new library folder.
The solution:
Pause or cancel the download/update. Make sure nothing is updating, then go to the Library display view in the Steam client. Then select: Steam->Settings->Steam Libraries Folders->Add Library Folder. You should then be able to select/create new library folders on new drives.

The shaming:
Valve engineers – fix that dialog! Be sure to tell people WHY you can’t create the folder, not just that you can’t. Error messages are useless unless they give you enough information about what’s wrong so that you can fix the problem. Especially one so simple to report.
