What is the "On My Mac" folder in macOS Big Sur?

Solution 1:

In Big Sur, ~/Library/Containers shows in Finder as ‘On My Mac’.

This is a trimmed down version of the Documents from each of those containers, only showing apps which open their Documents on macOS like iOS for visibility in the Files app.
