Introduction

============
|
||
|
||
The ownCloud Sync Client is a desktop program installed on a user’s computer.
|
||
It allows a user to specify one or more directories on the local machine to
|
||
sync to the ownCloud server. It allows the user to always have the latest
|
||
files wherever they may be. When a change is made to the file on the
|
||
computer, it will sync to the ownCloud server via the sync client.
