I think the following command in a shell should do it… xdg-user-dirs-update --set DOCUMENTS /home/user/cloud/Documents …, but to be sure, consult these man pages first: user-dirs.conf (5) - configuration for xdg-user-dirs-update xdg-user-dirs-update (1) - Update XDG user dir configuration > I mostly just want to sidebar "Documents" to be my cloud's Documents. > I can just drag it to the sidebar (it will be near the bottom), but > my home/user/Documents remains.

Thanks The xdg-*-dirs mechanism is a standard which is supported by many desktop environments. I once had an issue with Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) for that reason recreating directories in $HOME I had removed/renamed. HTH Kind regards, Stefan
