Hello All,
see title - is anyone aware of a solution to run desktop synchronizations as a service/daemon, i.e. non-interactively?
What does the āLaunch on system Startupā flag in the Desktop client do? (canāt find the documentation for the NextCloud desktop client ā¦)
Thx in advance!

No, there is a feature request for it which contains a workaround (not very nice, not sure if it still works with current clients):
That request is for OwnCloud, not sure what that means 
Iād also like a daemon, that way I can have an rsync target on a server (dumping data into the NextCloud data root is not supported as I found out) It would also help with my server that is accessible via VNC and keeps asking for the keyring password (I could of course disable thatā¦). Still, a daemon would be nice. You create a server, install and start the NextCloud daemon, selectively sync some folders and in come your server maintenance scripts or other relevant dataā¦
A real daemon does not exist as far as I know. But it is possible to sync from the command line:
owncloudcmd --silent --user --password /somefolder/somewhere/SyncThisFolder/ https://cloud.example.org/remote.php/webdav/SyncThisFolder/
It only does one synchronisation and then ends.
But you could for example run it regularly from cron or wrap it in a script with a sleep(300) if you want it to run every 5 minutes.
You can check on the following website

Only problem is that it is written in Dutch but probably you can translate it with Google 
Also note that the text Boxu must be replaced with nextcloudš
