Kindly asking for the exact location of Documents folder in Big Sur if it's also stored in iCloud via the Documents/Desktop setting.

Use case:
Accessing another Mac (over SMB) that is running macOS 11.1.
Opening a terminal on our Mac and accessing the home folder of the remote Mac: cd /Volumes/shareOfRemoteMac
Listing the contents of the Documents folder brings up an empty list (although there are folders existing); obviously because /Volumes/shareOfRemoteMac/Documents is a link and not the folder itself.

So where is it, please? Presumably somewhere under Library, but the former ~/Library/Mobile Documents/apple-com-CloudDocs also links to /Users/username/Documents... 🤫

Thank you.
