Samuel Alfageme d375e9b86c Including some info on the proxy config. in the docs.
This was a request of @michaelstingl to document how to configure the proxy manually via the .cfg file for config provisioning purposes.
- Restructured the bullet points into 3 different tables; I believe it's a cleaner approach; maybe this is also applicable to other sections.
- Would be logical to include also settings on proxy auth?

The ownCloud Client reads a configuration file. You can locate this configuration file as follows:

On Linux distributions:

$HOME/.local/share/data/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg

On Microsoft Windows systems:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\ownCloud\owncloud.cfg

On MAC OS X systems:

$HOME/Library/Application Support/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg

The configuration file contains settings using the Microsoft Windows .ini file format. You can overwrite changes using the ownCloud configuration dialog.

Note

Use caution when making changes to the ownCloud Client configuration file. Incorrect settings can produce unintended results.
