**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
No.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
The ability to automatically redirect common user folders like "Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos" on Windows machines to Nextcloud folder. That way, files a user creates in those folders get automatically uploaded to the server. This way the user does not have to manually select a Nextcloud folder to save their files or move them when using programs that automatically save files in those folders. This is something that cloud also be implemented on Linux and maybe on Mac's.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Have to do it manually one folder at a time.

**Additional context**
This is a feature that both OneDrive and Google drive have.
