Where Does Horos Store Its Database?
Horos keeps its DICOM database in ~/Library/Horos with prefs beside it. Copy the database with Horos closed.
Last updated
Horos stores DICOM studies in a database folder under the Mac home library. Preferences sit beside it in standard locations. Viewers and plugins read from the same tree.
Back up the database folder to move patient work. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm inside preferences when paths differ. Keep the database on fast local disk for large series.
Where Horos stores this, by platform
~/Library/Horos (database and preferences)

Frequently asked questions
How do I move a Horos database?
Copy the Horos database folder with the app closed to the same path. Studies plus prefs travel together. Reopen once to confirm.
New studies went missing. Where are they?
Check the database location inside Horos preferences first. New studies land there by default. Repoint it before importing when moving.
