NAME

       owncloud - File synchronisation desktop utility.

SYNOPSIS

       owncloud [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       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.

       --confdir <dirname>
              Uses the specified configuration directory.

CONFIG FILE

       The ownCloud Client reads a configuration file.  You can locate this configuration file as
       follows:

       On Linux distributions:
              $HOME/.local/share/data/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg

       On Microsoft Windows systems:
              %LOCALAPPDATA%\ownCloud\owncloud.cfg

       On MAC OS X systems:
              $HOME/Library/Application Support/ownCloud

       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.

       You can change the following configuration settings (must be under the [ownCloud] section)

       • remotePollInterval (default: 30000) -- Specifies the poll time for the remote repository
         in milliseconds.

       • maxLogLines  (default:  20000) -- Specifies the maximum number of log lines displayed in
         the log window.
