Setting up an Account
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
If no account has been configured, the ownCloud Client will automatically
|
|
assist in connecting to your ownCloud server after the application has been
|
|
started.
|
|
|
|
As a first step, specify the URL to your Server. This is the same address
|
|
that is used in the browser.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/wizard_url.png
|
|
:scale: 50 %
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Make sure to use ``https://`` if the server supports it. Otherwise,
|
|
your password and all data will be transferred to the server unencrypted.
|
|
This makes it easy for third parties to intercept your communication, and
|
|
getting hold of your password!
|
|
|
|
Next, enter the username and password. These are the same credentials used
|
|
to log into the web interface.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Finally, choose the folder that ownCloud Client is supposed to sync the
|
|
contents of your ownCloud account with. By default, this is a folder
|
|
called `ownCloud`, which will be created in the home directory.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/wizard_targetfolder.png
|
|
:scale: 50 %
|
|
|
|
At this time, the synchronization between the root directories of the
|
|
ownCloud server will begin.

|
|
|
If selecting a local folder that already contains data, there are
|
|
two options that exist.
|
|
|
|
* Keep local data: If selected, the files in the local folder on the
|
|
client will be synced up to the ownCloud server.
|
|
* Start a clean sync: If selected, all files in the local folder on
|
|
the client will be deleted and therefore not synced to the ownCloud
|
|
server.
