What about opposite question? Why spread the stuff, that is presumable
privately yours, across untold amount of directories?
Why not keep it in your private profile directory, that is intended to hold
your private profile stuff?

This is as easy as uncommenting and editing a single line in /etc/fstab
Strange that you are still struggling with such a simple issue.
