[–] Pok@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Are you saying you couldn't get the home folder to open? Or you couldn't locate the folder? Isn't it just the in the shortcut pane, the username with the picture of a house? To you try to open the 'go' menu and select 'home'? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Yes Nextcloud (for some reason) can put itself in the shortcut pane, but for some damn child-proofing reason the home folder is not there?? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) The Home folder is there, but you just didn't know how to find it. What you experienced was "not knowing what you're doing" which just means you needed to learn how to use what you were trying to use. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago Nah, its the OS actively hiding stuff. Just like windows and Android forcing you to use their folder structure. I may be a bit linuxy here, but thats literally what my dad told me, and on Windows it makes more sense, to put everything in the main directory and use CAPITALS for folders only so you see they are yours. For sure one could argue macos is just different and you can use that top menu, but what are the shortcut buttons there for? Its a decision and it felt veeeery weird. Even though it may be fixable permalink fedilink source parent
