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. .. note:: Use caution when making changes to the Nextcloud Client configuration file. Incorrect settings can produce unintended results. Some interesting values that can be set on the configuration file are: +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``[Nextcloud]`` section | +=================================+===============+========================================================================================================+ | Variable | Default | Meaning | +---------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``remotePollInterval`` | ``30000`` | Specifies the poll time for the remote repository in milliseconds. | +---------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``forceSyncInterval`` | ``7200000`` | The duration of no activity after which a synchronization run shall be triggered automatically. | +---------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``fullLocalDiscoveryInterval`` | ``3600000`` | The interval after which the next synchronization will perform a full local discovery. | +---------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``notificationRefreshInterval`` | ``300000`` | Specifies the default interval of checking for new server notifications in milliseconds. | +---------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``[General]`` section | +==================================+==========================+========================================================================================================+ | Variable | Default | Meaning | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``chunkSize`` | ``10000000`` (10 MB) | Specifies the chunk size of uploaded files in bytes. | | | | The client will dynamically adjust this size within the maximum and minimum bounds (see below). | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``minChunkSize`` | ``1000000`` (1 MB) | Specifies the minimum chunk size of uploaded files in bytes. | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``maxChunkSize`` | ``1000000000`` (1000 MB) | Specifies the maximum chunk size of uploaded files in bytes. | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``targetChunkUploadDuration`` | ``60000`` (1 minute) | Target duration in milliseconds for chunk uploads. | | | | The client adjusts the chunk size until each chunk upload takes approximately this long. | | | | Set to 0 to disable dynamic chunk sizing. | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``promptDeleteAllFiles`` | ``true`` | If a UI prompt should ask for confirmation if it was detected that all files and folders were deleted. | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``timeout`` | ``300`` | The timeout for network connections in seconds. | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``moveToTrash`` | ``false`` | If non-locally deleted files should be moved to trash instead of deleting them completely. | | | | This option only works on linux | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``showExperimentalOptions`` | ``false`` | Whether to show experimental options that are still undergoing testing in the user interface. | | | | Turning this on does not enable experimental behavior on its own.
