Description

Even old computers these days have their OS and a few things on a small SSD or other fast but small storage.

If there is a way for windows users to install this to a different location or control where files are stored after install I have not found it yet and would love to be educated.

If there is not a way -- well... I'd suggest that this is a very high priority feature for your file system to be more frictionlessly adopted.

INB4 symlinks -- symlinks arent for normies. <3

Thanks for your work on this project. :)

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Windows client’s installation and file-storage handling, then determine whether configurable locations are supported or would require a broader design. Done should mean the supported behavior is implemented and clearly documented for Windows users.
