0:00 Why do we need Special Folders in UiPath?
Imagine you build a UiPath robot, where you need to store data in, e.g., the "My Documents" folder on the user's computer. Since the path will change, we run into a problem when we want to specify the path in UiPath. Therefore we get the dynamic path and store it in a variable with the "Get Environment Folder" activity in UiPath.

Specify the Folder, create an output variable (String), and have the special folder's path on the user's computer written out.
