Hi Benjie,
You can refer to the following steps to redirect a folder:
1. Click the Start button , and then click your user name.
2. Right-click the folder (Document) that you want to redirect, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Location tab, and then click Move.
4. Browse to the location where you want to redirect this folder. You can select another location on this computer, another drive attached to this computer, or another computer on the network.
To find a network location, type two backslashes (\\) into the address bar followed by the name of the location where you want to redirect the folder (for example, \\mylaptop), and then press Enter.
5. Click the folder where you want to store the files, click Select Folder, and then click OK.
6. In the dialog that appears, click Yes to move all the files to the new location.
For more detail steps, you can refer to

Hope this helps
