The Nextcloud Client reads a configuration file. You can locate this configuration file as follows:
- On Linux distributions:
-
$HOME/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg - On Microsoft Windows systems:
-
%APPDATA%\Nextcloud\nextcloud.cfg - On macOS systems:
-
$HOME/Library/Preferences/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg
The configuration file contains settings using the Microsoft Windows .ini file format. You can overwrite changes using the Nextcloud configuration dialog.
Note
Use caution when making changes to the Nextcloud Client configuration file. Incorrect settings can produce unintended results.
Some interesting values that can be set on the configuration file are:
