          There is an option to allow hidden files in ownCloud client. Simply edit the configuration file: ~/.local/share/data/ownCloud and set:



          0FoldersownCloudignoreHiddenFiles=false



          There is also a common list of files to exclude: /etc/owncloud-client/sync-exclude.lst; which includes temporary files, htaccess, locks, etc.



          These can also be set from the GUI: General > Edit Ignored Files
