Change Server Address in Client

📱 Desktop & mobile clients 💻 Desktop

Hi,

I have had to make a change to the server URL that I host; I’d like to simply change the URL in the client without having to run another sync (Server has no changes to users, etc, just a URL change).

I have done this previously on both Linux and Windows but I am having a hard time finding the relevant config file on a Mac OS client. Thoughts?

Hey,

you can find the info here:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/desktop/2.5/advancedusage.html

These are the important lines for you :slight_smile:

On macOS systems:

$HOME/Library/Preferences/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg

Thanks, I seem to have the same issue as this post:

As already mentioned here you should tell us your client version then.

Version 2.5.2

I cannot seem to locate a config file anywhere; has the structure changed? Or am I making some newbie mistake?

That describes a method I will use,

Thanks
