Setting up an Account

If no account has been configured, ownCloud Client will automatically assist you in connecting to your ownCloud Server after the application has been started.

As a first step, specify the URL to your Server, just like you would when you open your ownCloud instance inside a browser.

Note

Make sure to use https:// if the server supports it. Otherwise, your password and all data will be transferred to the server unencrypted. This makes it easy for third parties to intercept your communication, and getting hold of your password!

Next, you are prompted for your username and password. Again, use the same credentials that you would use to log on via the web interface.
