Description

Windows Client installs itself in %profiledir%\AppData\Local\Keybase and sets a home folder for all stuff and "file system" as %profiledir%\AppData\Roaming\Keybase

It is really inconvenient: I am using SSD as a system disk and I don't want to have additional read-write operations because of Keybase Client.

Is it possible to add a possibility to chose installation and home folders in the client?

Research direction

Start by locating the Windows Client installer and the code that assigns %profiledir%\AppData\Local\Keybase and %profiledir%\AppData\Roaming\Keybase. Determine whether installation and home-folder paths are configured in one place or across the client and installer. Done means users can choose both locations and the client consistently uses those choices.
