Post From: Organize Data folder in subfolders for better custom files management across installations

Hi Support,

I would like to suggest as a feature request that the Data folder would be better organized into subfolders (study collections, custom dlls, chartbooks and so on) and that their paths could be user defined in order to be able to better manage multiple Sierra installations in the same or in different computers instead of manually copying files among them. This way it would also be easier to make automatic backups of those files with Dropbox or Onedrive or directly create the folders in dropbox.
If the all paths can't be user defined but the data folder is segregated into subfolders one could at least create symlinks to point those folders to different locations in the system (dropbox/onedrive) so the multiple installations would always be in sync, leaving each installation to manage only its chart data history files.
