DESCRIPTION

The ownCloud Client is a file synchronization desktop utility based on mirall. 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 syncrhonized 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.

-h, --help
    Displays all the options below or, when used on Windows, opens a window displaying all options.
