Where Is the Nextcloud Sync Folder?
Nextcloud Desktop sync folder default on Windows, macOS and Linux, and how to confirm a moved folder.
Last updated
Nextcloud Desktop syncs server folders to a local folder defaulting to Nextcloud in home. Each sync connection maps one remote folder to one local path.
Selective sync omissions stay server-side. The client settings panel lists every mapping when the default was changed.
Where Nextcloud stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Nextcloud
Default sync root. Check client settings for the live mappings; custom paths override this. Selective-sync gaps remain in the cloud.
~/Nextcloud
Same default. Confirm in client settings when moved.
~/Nextcloud
Same default. Multiple accounts add suffixed folders.

How do I find my Nextcloud folder?
Open the desktop client settings; the folder list shows every sync connection and its local path. That panel beats any documented default.
