Introduction
============
Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and various Linux distributions, the ownCloud
Desktop Sync client enables you to:
- Specify one or more directories on your computer that you want to synchronize
to the ownCloud server.
- Always have the latest files synchronized, wherever they are located.
Your files are always automatically synchronized between your ownCloud server
and local PC.
.. note:: Because of various technical issues, desktop sync clients older than
1.7 will not allowed to connect and sync with the ownCloud 8.1+ server. It
is highly recommended to keep your client updated.
