After my earlier email to the list, owncloud syncing seems to be working
now. When I used owncloud in the past, it stored a number of folders in the root of my shared directory. Now I've set it syncing again, it has created a directory called "clientsync" and is storing all my data in there - effectively duplicating it all within a subdirectory. Is this normal behaviour? Can I turn it off? I'd rather everything was in the root. When I set up owncloud-client I didn't enter clientsync into the path, or see it mentioned anywhere.

Unless you built ownCloud Client yourself with special options, I serously doubt that. You probably had played around with the folder configuration when you installed it first.

OK. If it's default, I'll leave it be. It doesn't matter one way or another. Now my ownCloud server has one (outdated) copy of my files in the root, and a fresh copy in /clientsync. I want to delete the outdated files in the root. Is it safe to delete them from the web interface without affecting the contents of /clientsync? > > Unless you built ownCloud Client yourself with special options, I > serously doubt that.

I probably changed something there. Thanks for clearing it up - I think I understand now.
