Link Warframe to Steam?

[lclegends]

Alright so a while back I bought a new harddrive and didnt want to download Warframe again, so I simply copied it onto my USB drive and then on the new harddrive, I can play normally but with steam, I even put the game into the steam games folder but it just doesnt work, whenever I try to start the game via Steam it just wants to completely download it again, anyone have an idea how I can link the game to steam again?

You have do download the game via Steam. Otherwise Steam may assume it's a pirated game (even though Warframe is free, Steam may still think that it is not the original version of the game since Steam does not know where you got the copy from).

So yeah, you gotta download it all over again.

Try this, there is CONVERTING STANDALONE VERSION TO STEAM VERSION
