How can I permanently change my default repository folder?

Every time I clone a new repository from GitHub or other VCS, Rider wants to throw it into a folder (above) that is in a bad location for me. It's on an unpreferred drive in a folder that is subject to frequent corporate tool scans, so I cannot work in my IDE with any file in this location.

Even when I open the folder navigator up and select my preferred root folder, this is a bad experience not just because of the extra unneeded clicks but I also have to manually retype the name of my repository since it doesn't automatically try to append it to the folder I've selected. 

This costs me so much time. I've tried a few things to change it, but nothing seems to be specifically designed for this.
