Remap cPanel Default Directory for Storing Files

I am looking at Digital Ocean's block storage as a potential way to scale a web server ruing cPanel's storage of all the public web content uploaded by users. After formatting and mapping the drive to the server, is there a configuration option in cPanel/WHM that allows you to remap the default location for new accounts? I realize each new user gets a home directory so would would a symbolic link be the answer instead? Just trying to figure out the best way to map and use the mapped storage instead of the default server storage.
