Windows Environment Variables
Windows environment variables can be used in AllSync for various path and file specifications.The available environment variables can be displayed via the AllSync menu bar under Extras → Environment Variables or in the profile properties from the left menu under the entry Environment Variables.
In the profile properties, all environment variables are listed in a table. A double-click on a table row copies the corresponding environment variable to the clipboard.
Syntax: %EnvironmentVariable%
Example: By specifying C:\Backup\%USERNAME%, the environment variable %USERNAME% is replaced with the name of the currently logged-in user; e.g.: C:\Backup\John
