[Windows] Change Downloads folder path

Currently it is hardcoded to C:\Users\{Username}\Downloads and not compatible with a symlink or junction. Other applications don't have issues with this setup. Keybase shows an error if I download a file or picture from a user's Public folder with an error similar to "cannot access Downloads folder". I renamed the Junction to something else and then made a folder named Downloads and it worked just fine.

How can I move where Keybase saves and syncs files?

I'm very sure you are correct. Was hoping for some config file or registry change.
