​Select local storage path

[Axenide]

Description

I think it would be really useful to have the database located in a path defined by the user.

Use case

This could be used to sync the database between devices using tools like Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive.

Anything else?

You can do this with Obsidian and Appflowy. Their users would find this feature strictly necessary.

Absolutely Necessary, local first needs work. Workspaces, Docs, and local network sync is a must.

I want to migrate from obsidian to affine but it seems near impossible task, because affine want to import all files individually, with every folder recreation. Local storage path will help a lot

Windows users greatly need the option to customize local storage paths; otherwise, the C drive will keep growing larger!
