fifty sub-directories, to help prevent memory problems.

Unfortunately, it, *currently*, does not report an error when this occurs.

However, a UI notification is planned for a future release of ownCloud.

+I want to move my local sync folder
|
|
|
+-----------------------------------
|
|
|

|
|
|
+The ownCloud desktop client does not provide a way to change the local sync directory.
|
|
|
+However, it can be done, though it is a bit unorthodox.
|
|
|
+Specifically, you have to:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Remove the existing connection which syncs to the wrong directory
|
|
|
+2. Add a new connection which syncs to the desired directory

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To do so, in the client UI, which you can see above, click the "**Account**" drop-down menu and then click "Remove".
|
|
|
+This will display a "**Confirm Account Removal**" dialog window.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you're sure, click "**Remove connection**".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Then, click the Account drop-down menu again, and this time click "**Add new**".

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This opens the ownCloud Connection Wizard, which you can see above, *but* with an extra option.
|
|
|
+This option provides the ability to either: keep the existing data (synced by the previous connection) or to start a clean sync (erasing the existing data).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Make your choice and click "**Connect...**".
|
|
|
+This will then step you through the Connection Wizard, just as you did when you setup the previous sync connection, but giving you the opportunity to choose a new sync directory.
