Storage location for AllSync Application Data

Specify the folder where AllSync application data should be stored.

Shared folder for all users
Here you can define a folder that all AllSync users can access. This option is available starting with the AllSync Professional Edition.
Example path: D:\AllSync4
User-specific system folder
Stores application data in a private Windows system folder accessible only to the respective user.
Example path: C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\AllSync4
Public system folder
Stores application data in a public Windows system folder accessible to all AllSync users.
Example path: C:\ProgramData\AllSync4

Note: To ensure smooth operation of AllSync, the folder containing AllSync's application data should be excluded from scanning by your security software (e.g., antivirus, real-time protection).
