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)

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

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