I woulnd't consider that a wildcard but an environment variable. I 
don't think it will work right now. And even if it did, I don't think it 
will do what you want.

Let's say user A logs in and Box Backup backs up all their data to account 
1 on the server. Then user B logs in with a completely different set of 
files in their home directory. Box Backup will delete all of User A's 
files on the server and upload User B's files instead. Then User A logs in 
again, and all of User B's files get deleted on the server, and so on.

Cheers, Chris.
