We mostly trust the file watchers meaning that we don't re-scan the local tree if we have done that recently and no file watcher events have arrived. If the file watchers invalidate a subtree, we rescan only that subtree. Since we're not entirely sure the file watchers are reliable, we still do full local discoveries regularly (1h by default). There is a config file setting as well as an environment variable to control the interval.

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.
Some interesting values that can be set on the configuration file are:
