I have an external mount '/media/smb/' (SMB mount point) and i want to sync a folder on a client pc (windows 10) to a folder within the external mount point. Eg. Windows 10 client folder to sync : c:\users\john\desktop\myData
and I want to sync this folder onto oC server : /media/smb/backups/johns-data
Currently, when i try and sync the folder on the client, it is sent automatically to /var/www/owncloud/data/john/files/ I can not find any options to set a different destination folder
Thanks for that, I had a look at the page you linked to on external storage, and i can't see anything on there about setting a destination for a sync? I also had a look at this page : https://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/1.8/advancedusage.html Which seams to be all there is on manually configuring the clients config file, and it only says that there are 2 options you can change, polling interval and max log lines
I can't find a reference document that details all the possible entries in a client config file.
Can you point me to a more detailed page for manually setting the client config file? I presume there must be some option like the following, but can't find any info localPath=c:\users\john\desktop\myData remotePath=/media/smb/backups/johns-data
where the external storage is mounted on : /media/smb/
