cloud.UNE Sync Client

UNE offers a sync client application to enable you to access your data in cloud.UNE. You can choose to synchronise your data in the cloud with your local hard drive.

NOTE: Be careful - the sync client will attempt to duplicate all data from the server onto your desktop. So, if you have a large amount of data stored in the cloud, consider whether you want to have all of your cloud.UNE data on your local drive.

Installing and setting up on your local drive

  • Go to https://owncloud.com/desktop-app/ and download the application.
  • Select appropriate Operating System option for the download to commence
  • Click on the installed package and follow the steps for installing
