Create symlinks if you like but don't replace Documents or Desktop. Symlinks of key folders to an external drive risk locking you out of your account if the NAS is not connected. | |

| Nov 18, 2022 at 17:15 | comment | added | Nebula | To my knowledge the changes in Catalina targetted only certain near-root folders required for essential system operation. User data (everything under /Users and indeed most of the visible volume) shouldn’t have been impacted. I’m not able to test locally at this time, but have you ensured iCloud Drive is disabled or is set not to sync Desktop and Documents? In previous macOS installs I recall doing similar shenanigans to my home directory, but that may have been pre-Catalina (it’s been a while). | |
