@ManuScri welcome to the forum.

Locally, notes are stored in the **~/.config/joplin-desktop/database.sqlite** file. The resources / attachments are stored in the **~/.config/joplin-desktop/resources** folder.

I believe that there is an unsupported feature where you can set the path for where the above is stored using a `--profile` switch followed by a path to the required location. I do not use that but searching this forum for `--profile` should bring up information as it has been discussed before.
