Still... the correct path according to the XDG specification would be
in ~/.local/share/ which is giving by $XDG_DATA_HOME, ~/.config or
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME is for configuration files only.
$XDG_DATA_DIRS should be searched after $XDG_DATA_HOME, so it could be
set to something like
"/path/to/sdcard1/.local/share:/path/to/sdcard2/.local/share"
by the OS and those would be searched in order.
