Setting up an Account
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
When you run the ownCloud Desktop Sync client the first time, it automatically
|
|
opens the account setup wizard. Just follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the URL to your Server. This is the same address used by your Web
|
|
browser, for example ``https://example.com/owncloud``
|
|
|
|

|
|
:scale: 50 %
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Always use ``https://`` if SSL encryption is enabled on your server.
|
|
Otherwise, your password and all traffic between your computer and the
|
|
ownCloud server will be transmitted in the clear and wide open for
|
|
eavesdroppers.
|
|
|
|
2. Enter your username and password. These are the same credentials used to
|
|
log into the ownCloud Web interface.

|
|
3. Choose the local folder you want to store your ownCloud files in. By
|
|
default, this is a folder called ``ownCloud`` in your home directory.

|
When selecting a local folder that already contains data, you can choose from two options:
|
|
|
|
* :guilabel:`Keep local data`: When selected, the files in the local folder on
|
|
the client are synchronized to the ownCloud server.
|
|
|
|
* :guilabel:`Start a clean sync`: When selected, all files in the local folder on the
|
|
client are deleted. These files are not synchronized to the ownCloud server.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`navigating` to learn how to choose specific folders to sync with on
|
|
your ownCloud server.
