The drive space will continue to increase as new data is loaded into the charts. This is normal. If you want to clean up drive space used by Sierra Chart, then refer to the following:
Chart Data and Chart Data Files: Cleaning Up Old and Unused Symbols for Efficiency

Do NOT put Sierra Chart on a an external drive. Sierra Chart is constantly writing and reading from the drive, so you need to have the fastest speed available in order to be able to access the data. External drives are always going to be slower than an internal drive.

If you do want to change the location of your Sierra Chart installation, then follow these instructions:
Transferring Sierra Chart Settings and Data From Existing Installation to New Installation: Simple Transfer/Copy of Sierra Chart Installation to Another Folder or Computer System

As long as you are not running Sierra Chart on two computers simultaneously, then there is no issue with running it on one computer or another. If you want to run it simultaneously, then you would need to pay a second set of exchange fees. Refer to the following:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: Denali Exchange Data Feed on Two Computers Simultaneously

But, the chartbooks between the two systems are completely separate. If you want to be working from the same chartbook, then you would need to copy the chartbook from one system to the other while Sierra Chart is not running.
