Downloads, and the secure storage of the private folder on a non-system drive #18

Description

The websites are stored on the system drive in the path C:\Users\current user\AppData\Roaming\EpixNet, but even more important is the content of the private folder. If this is lost, the user loses the ability to edit their account on the given forum, which can cause significant inconvenience for users.

After presenting the secret recovery phrase, users’ attention should also be drawn to the importance of saving the contents of the private folder in a separate, secure location.

Additionally, it would be advisable to make the EpiXNet folder location selectable by the user, and to recommend that they do not choose the system partition. Instead, if at least two partitions are available, they should select something like the D drive as an example, which is intended for long-term storage. This is because if the operating system is reinstalled, not only this important data is lost, but potentially several gigabytes of stored websites as well. This is also not ideal for us, as the content is not preserved in the long term.
