Shared Home Folders Setup

1. Edit the Configuration File: You can use a text editor of your choice to edit the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file.

   nano ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

2. Edit the Configuration File's Content:

   # this file is to be placed at:
   #       ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs 
   #
   # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
   # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
   # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run.
   # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
   # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
   # absolute path. No other format is supported.
   
   # these remains the same
   XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
   XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
   
   # from 250GB HDD and 500GB HDD 
   XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="/mnt/5498F4E498F4C610/Desktop"
   XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="/mnt/5498F4E498F4C610/Downloads"
   XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="/mnt/5498F4E498F4C610/Documents"
   XDG_MUSIC_DIR="/mnt/5D9037A9106244F3"
   XDG_PICTURES_DIR="/mnt/5498F4E498F4C610/Pictures"
   XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="/mnt/5498F4E498F4C610/Videos"

3. Save and Exit: Replace the required contents, then save and exit nano (or your text editor of choice)

4. Update User Directories: To apply the changes, you'll need to update the user directories. Run the following command to do it:

   xdg-user-dirs-update

This will refresh the user directories with the changes you made.
