NAME
nextcloud - File synchronisation desktop utility. nextcloud(1) ————
nextcloud [OPTIONS...]
The nextCloud Client is a file synchronization desktop utility. It synchronizes files on your local computer, tablet, or handheld device with an nextCloud 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 nextCloud icon appears in the computer system tray or on your tablet or handheld device.
You have the option of starting your Nextcloud desktop client with the nextcloud command. The following options are supported:
- nextcloud -h or nextcloud --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.
- --logdebug
- Also output debug-level messages in the log (equivalent to setting the env var QT_LOGGING_RULES="qt.*=true;*.debug=true").
- --confdir <dirname>
- Uses the specified configuration directory.
- --background
- Launch the application in the background (i.e. without opening the main dialog).
The Nextcloud Client reads a configuration file. You can locate this configuration file as follows:
- On Linux distributions:
- $HOME/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg
- On Microsoft Windows systems:
- %APPDATA%\Nextcloud\nextcloud.cfg
- On macOS systems:
- $HOME/Library/Preferences/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg
The configuration file contains settings using the Microsoft Windows .ini file format. You can overwrite changes using the Nextcloud configuration dialog.
