 This page is mainly for our clients we install private instances for, so they can plan and manage with minimal reliance on us.
+===== File sync from command line =====
+Nextcloud Client has a command line version which can be run from a Unix cron or Windows Task entry. It may not be installed by default when you install the Nextcloud Desktop Client. See https://docs.nextcloud.com/desktop/latest/advancedusage.html (bottom section of that page).
+The name of the command is nextcloudcmd, and you can call it with a /? (Windows) or --help (Unix) to get the parameters (describe in the above link also). Basic usage is:
+<code bash>
+nextcloudcmd --user NC_User_Name --password 'password' --path '/path/on/server' /local/dir/to/sync https://url/to/nextcloud/install
+</code>
+Note: you do not need to use the --path parameter if doing something like sync'ing Documents on your machine to Documents on the nextcloud account.
