Upgrade StorageGroup, multiple profiles data location
Hello.
(Question about Zotero 5 running on Windows 10.)
GROUP LIBRARY DATA:
Where are located the library data of a group on the user's computer ?
Are they located in the same directory and in the same files as the primary library "My library", ie:
- either in the default directory (C:\Users\\Zotero)
- or in the customized directory (Preferences->Advanced->Files and folders) ?
If yes, are these data included in the same file "zotero.sqlite" ?
I have hardly explored the documentation, during a long time, and I didn't find the answer to this question; nor in the forum.
Related question for MULTIPLE PROFILES:
According to what I read in the page https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/multiple_profiles (provided I understand it correctly):
If I create alternate profiles then the data directories that I create for these profiles MUST be sub-directories of the main one. Is it true or do I super-interpret the page text ?
Thank you in advance.

2) Each profile folder should be in a different folder on your computer, NOT sub-folders of each other.
It's clear and I succeeded in creating a new profile with correct locations for profile information and bibliography data, and in using two instances of Zotero.
