I want to move my local sync folder
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ownCloud desktop client does not provide a way to change the local sync directory.
|
||||||
|
However, it can be done, though it is a bit unorthodox.
|
||||||
|
Specifically, you have to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Remove the existing connection which syncs to the wrong directory
|
||||||
|
2. Add a new connection which syncs to the desired directory
|
||||||
|
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To do so, in the client UI, which you can see above, click the "**Account**" drop-down menu and then click "Remove".
|
||||||
|
This will display a "**Confirm Account Removal**" dialog window.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're sure, click "**Remove connection**".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then, click the Account drop-down menu again, and this time click "**Add new**".
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This opens the ownCloud Connection Wizard, which you can see above, *but* with an extra option.
|
||||||
|
This option provides the ability to either: keep the existing data (synced by the previous connection) or to start a clean sync (erasing the existing data).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make your choice and click "**Connect...**".
|
||||||
|
This will then step you through the Connection Wizard, just as you did when you setup the previous sync connection, but giving you the opportunity to choose a new sync directory.
