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.
