 Adding the `--logdebug` flag increases the verbosity of the generated log files.
 
+==== Logging in the Console
+
+If the ownCloud client isn't able to start and immediately crashes the first two options are not available. 
+Therefore it might need to be necessary to start the ownCloud client using the command line in order to be see the error message
+
+On Linux and Mac simply open the terminal and run: 
+```
+owncloud --logfile - --logflush
+```
+
+On Windows open a PowerShell and run the following command:
+
+```
+& 'C:\Program Files\ownCloud\owncloud.exe' --logfile - --logflush | Write-Host
+```
+
+Make sure to copy the whole command and adjust the path to your `owncloud.exe`, if you have chosen to install the client in a different path.
+
+To further increase the verbosity of the output you can also combine these commands with the `--logdebug` argument.

 Thanks to the Qt framework, logging can be controlled at run-time through the `QT_LOGGING_RULES` environment variable.
