## About URL and Paths

> **If a user doesn’t explicitly enter a destination path:** An automation ran on a device will create a work folder C:\\Program Files\\XEOX . There, seperated by ID will be the data of the jobs. If no destination path is stated, files will be stored here.

> It does not matter if a / is entered at the end of a path or not
