Using the Arma 3 Launcher / Launcher options / Mods options / Mods storage feature does not move mods.
It moves the hidden !Workshop directory in the game folder, which only contains symlinks to local Workshop content.
The workshop content is still stored in steamapps\workshop\content\107410\ and is not actually moved.

Steps To Reproduce
- Install Arma 3 in the default Steam library directory (%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3)
- Subscribe to some Workshop content
- Start Arma 3 Launcher / Launcher options / Mods options / Mods storage
- Move mods to another drive (example: F:\Mods\Workshop)
- Open powershell prompt
- Run Get-ChildItem F:\Mods\Workshop\!Workshop | ? Target | Select-Object FullName, Target
The last command will list all mods symlinks and their target path.
They will all point towards Steam local workshop content directory :
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\<workshop_item_id>
Additional Information
You could move steamapps\workshop\content\107410 contents to the target directory, and replace the original directory by a symlink.
The !Workshop directory could stay in the Arma 3 game directory.
