Catalina - Data Folder
Hi,
I know that Catalina has now created two partitions, one called Macintosh HD with system files that's read only and one called Macintosh HD - Data, with all a user's data and files.
In previous macOS versions, I used to have my main Documents folder at the Root of my mac (Macintosh HD/Documents) sitting beside the Applications, Library and System folders.
As this is no longer possible, I was wandering if anyone had any information as to which parts of the Mac I can safely create my master Documents folder to.
Is it ok if I do it in the Macintosh HD/Users/ folder sitting at the same level as my username folder (not within it)? When I tried creating it there, it asked me to enter my password saying finder wants to create a new folder, pls enter your password. I did that, and it's all good, but is this still not a good idea? Will every time I create a library for an application or try to read/write to that location, will there be permission problems?
Thanks,
Nick
PS. If anyone knows which parts of macOS are actually a part the read-only Macintosh HD and which parts are part of Macintosh HD - Data? Or has a link breaking it down? Because in Disk Utility it shows the Macintosh HD partition only having 10 GB, but when I check the file size of /Library and /System, they total about 15 GB each
