Brave stores the profile in something like:
C:Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware
I would want to store the profile in another drive on the same computer, like:
D:Someotherdrive\etc\BraveProfile
Firefox can do this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Custom_profile_location

As far as I’m aware of: no. If you move the profile data, it’ll automatically create new profile when you open Brave.
IIRC we’ve an open issue for “installing to alternative location”.

I found the solution on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/j3qrnu/is_it_possible_to_move_braves_profile_to_another/g7f1qzq/?context=3
- Install Brave
- Copy profile folder from default folder
C:Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware
to desired location
- Delete default folder (otherwise step 4 will give error)
- Create .bat file with this line:
mklink /j "C:\default_profile_location" "D:/New_profile_location"
(replace with real locations, of course)
- Execute .bat file
