Installation Wizard
The installation wizard takes you step-by-step through configuration options and account setup.
First you click on Log in

The authentication will need to be complete in a browser.
Click on Log in in the browser
Enter your Nextcloud login on the next screen.

Once the access granted, please go back to the desktop application.
On the Local Folder Option screen you may sync all of your files on the Nextcloud server, or select individual folders. The default local sync folder is Nextcloud, in your home directory. You may change this as well.
