Does Qt provide a way to access the public/shared user folder?
Currently, my application runs on both Windows and Mac and uses QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::ConfigLocation); to get a path to save certain files.
It looks like all the StandardPaths return only user specific directories.
Windows: (e.g. C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/MyApp)
Mac: (e.g. /Users/User/Library/Preferences)
Is there a way to access the public/shared user folder (e.g. C:/Users/Public)?

I don't think this concept transfers across operating systems. That in itself would be a good reason why it's not there at all.

The second result ofQStandardPaths::standardLocations, if it exists, seems to be a shared location on desktop OSs.
