+It is possible to perform mass deployment of the Nextcloud desktop client by passing certain command-line parameters from the deployment step to Nextcloud desktop client executable after the initial setup.
+This will allow desktop client to generate a config (.cfg) file that will be used during subsequent launches.
+A config file will have a corresponding account written into it similar to if you have added it manually via the desktop client's UI.
+The desktop client will exit with code 0 if account has been added successfuly, or 1 in case of failure.
+Detailed failure message is printed to the desktop client logs.
+
+The following parameters are supported:
+
+``--userid``
+        (required) userId (username as on the server) to pass when creating an account via command-line.
+
+``--apppassword``
+        (required) appPassword to pass when creating an account via command-line (see the ``login-flow`` section in server documentation on how to generate the app password).
+
+``--localdirpath``
+        (optional) path where to create a local sync folder when creating an account via command-line. If skipped, then default local sync folder path (/home/<userid>/Nextcloud<n> for Linux/mac or C:/<userid>/Nextcloud<n> for Windows) will be generated by desktop client.
+        
+``--isvfsenabled``
+        (optional) whether to set a VFS or non-VFS folder (1 for 'yes' or 0 for 'no') when creating an account via command-line. Default is 0.
+
+``--remotedirpath``
+        (optional) path to a remote subfolder when creating an account via command-line. e.g. If the server has folders "/Photos", "/Documents", "/Music" you can pass "/Music" and then this folder will get set up as remote root.
+
+``--serverurl``
+        (required) a server URL to use when creating an account via command-line. (NOTE: There is another parameter supported by Nextcloud desktop client ``--overrideserverurl`` but it SHOULD NOT be used here as it is intended for setup via UI with wizard)
+
+Examples:
+
+- ``C:\Program Files\Nextcloud\nextcloud.exe" --userid admin --apppassword Jliy12356785jxnHa2ZCiZ9MX48ncECwDso95Pq3a5HABjY34ZvhZiXrPfpKWUg7aOHAX5 --localdirpath "D:\\Nextcloud-sync-folder" --remotedirpath /Music --serverurl "https://cloud.example.com" --isvfsenabled 1"`` - this will create a config file for user admin on the server https://cloud.example.com and set a remote root folder to "Music", the local sync folder will get created with VFS mode.
+- For Linux and mac the same example as above will work but ``nextcloud.exe path`` and ``--localdirpath`` value should get changed to platform specific format (e.g. ``no .exe extension`` and ``/home/<user folder>`` format)

+If you want to automate an Account Setup Wizard to allow the user skip entering server URL and local sync folder path in UI, you can use command-line parameters.
+When you specify both, the desktop client's Account Setup Wizard will jump straight to opening a browser for account authentication/connection without the need of entering any of the connection details.
+The local sync folder will also be selected to the one you specify instead of using default path (/home/Nextcloud)
+
+The following parameters are supported:
+
+``--overridelocaldir``
+   specify a local dir to be used in the account setup wizard (e.g.: /home/nextcloud-sync-folder)
+
+``--overrideserverurl``
+        specify a server URL to use for the force override to be used in the account setup wizard (e.g.: https://cloud.example.com)
+
+Examples:
+
+- ``C:\Program Files\Nextcloud\nextcloud.exe" --overridelocaldir "D:/work/nextcloud-sync-folder" --overrideserverurl https://cloud.example.com
+- For Linux and mac the same example as above will work but ``nextcloud.exe path`` and ``--overridelocaldir`` value should get changed to platform specific format (e.g. ``no .exe extension`` and ``/home/<user folder>`` format)
