Is there a way to change the location of the extensions folder for Visual Studio code?

Question

I put Visual Studio code on OneDrive to sync it with its settings on my devices.

However, extensions are stored in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensionson Windows.

Can I change the location of this folder so that I can put it in the main Visual Studio code folder?

At first, I thought copying the extensions in the resources\app\extensionsVisual Studio code folder would be a good solution, but that didn't work.

I also looked for a solution on the documentation page and in the user settings, but to no avail.
