Any location to store "permanent" data?

I want to store a UUID for the user’s machine in a place where can be shared by any other plugin, is it possible?

I found the dataFolder but is for the plugin itself, is there a folder that can be used as a “global” folder?

Thanks!

if data isn’t sensitive you may use a regular folder.

your plugins will need “fullAceess” file system permission or user will have to pick that folder.

use that entry to store you data in a predefined shared folder.

if you have a “master” plugin that’s guaranteed to be installed. use its data folder and provide data to other plugins using plugin comunication
