NAME
owncloud - File synchronisation desktop utility. owncloud(1) ————
owncloud [OPTIONS...]
The ownCloud Client is a file synchronization desktop utility. It synchronizes files on
your local computer, tablet, or handheld device with an ownCloud Server. If you make a
change to the files on one device, the change is propagated to all other synchronized
devices using the desktop synchronization clients.
Normally, you start the client by clicking on the desktop icon or by starting it from the
client application menu. After starting, an ownCloud icon appears in the computer system
tray or on your tablet or handheld device.
You have the option of starting your ownCloud desktop client with the owncloud command.
The following options are supported:
owncloud -h or owncloud --help
Displays all command options.
The other options are:
--logwindow
Opens a window displaying log output.
--logfile <filename>
Write log output to the file specified. To write to stdout, specify - as the
filename.
--logdir <name>
Writes each synchronization log output in a new file in the specified directory.
--logexpire <hours>
Removes logs older than the value specified (in hours). This command is used with
--logdir.
--logflush
Clears (flushes) the log file after each write action.
--logdebug
Also output debug-level messages in the log (equivalent to setting the env var
QT_LOGGING_RULES="qt.*=true;*.debug=true").
)
--confdir <dirname>
Uses the specified configuration directory.
The ownCloud Client reads a configuration file. You can locate this configuration file as
follows:
On Linux distributions:
$HOME/.config/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg
On Microsoft Windows systems:
%APPDATA%\ownCloud\owncloud.cfg
On MAC OS X systems:
$HOME/Library/Preferences/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg
The configuration file contains settings using the Microsoft Windows .ini file format. You
can overwrite changes using the ownCloud configuration dialog.
NOTE:
Use caution when making changes to the ownCloud Client configuration file. Incorrect
settings can produce unintended results.
Some interesting values that can be set on the configuration file are:
