**`dav-sync pull [-cldr] [-t <tags>] <directory>`**
Pulls all changes from the server. All new or modified files are downloaded and all files deleted on the server are deleted locally. If a file is also locally modified and conflict detection is not disabled, the local file is renamed and an entry in the conflict database is added.
When a trash directory is configured for the SyncDirectory, all files that would be deleted are instead moved to the trash directory.
When backup-on-pull is enabled for the SyncDirectory, all files that would be overwritten are also moved to the trash.
**`-c`** Disable conflict detection. This always overwrites locally modified files
**`-l`** Lock the repository before accessing it. After `pull` completed, the repository is unlocked
**`-d`** Don't lock the repository (default)
**`-t <tags>`** Only sync files that match the tag filter expression
**`-r`** Delete files not matching the tag filter
