Overview
ownCloud is represented by an icon in the Desktop's system tray, also known as notification area.
The clients menu is accessed with a right click (Windows, Linux) or left click (Mac OS).
The status of the current sync can be observed in the Status dialog,
available trough the Open status... option. On Windows, a
left click on the tray icon also opens the status dialog.
Note
Until the intial setup has finished, the Connection Wizard will be shown instead when left-clicking on Windows.
The dialog provides an overview on the configured sync folders and allows to add and remove more sync folder connections as well as pausing a sync connection.
Changing your password
Use the Configure option. It will open the Connection
Wizard, which next to reconfiguring your connection to use a different
user or server also will allow to change the password for the local
account, or to switch from HTTP to HTTPS.
Setting up a proxy
By default, the configured system proxy will be picked up. This may
not be working reliable on some Linux distributions, as only the
http_proxy variable gets parsed. You can configure a proxy
different from your system default by choosing
Configure proxy... from the menu.
By default, ownCloud expects a HTTP proxy. If you want to specify a SOCKS5 proxy instead, tick the "Use as SOCKSv5 proxy" option.
