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.
