Description
Sometimes (particularly when debugging) this would be useful to know, and seems very difficult to establish (especially cross platform).
I expect this could appear in the _Help & About_ section of User Settings.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue points to the Help & About section in User Settings; start by locating that settings section and tracing how the client determines its on-disk storage location. Done means the relevant storage path is shown there across supported platforms.
