Using Federated Cloud Sharing
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Federated Cloud Sharing, introduced in ownCloud 7 as Server-to-Server sharing,
|
|
allows you to mount file shares from remote ownCloud servers, in effect
|
|
creating your own cloud of ownClouds. You can create direct share links with
|
|
users on other ownCloud servers.
|
|
|
|
Creating a New Federated Cloud Share
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Federated Cloud Sharing is enabled on new or upgraded ownCloud installations
|
|
by default. (See "Configuring Federated Cloud Sharing" in the ownCloud Server
|
|
Administration Manual.) Follow these steps to create a new share:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your ``Files`` page and click the Share icon on the file or directory
|
|
you want to share. Enter the username and URL of the remote user in this form:
|
|
``<username>@<oc-server-url>``. In this example, that is
|
|
``layla@remote-server/owncloud``. The form automatically echoes the address
|
|
that you type and labels it as "remote".

|
|
|
|
2. You'll see a status indicator as ownCloud looks for the remote server.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
When your local ownCloud server makes a successful connection with the remote
|
|
ownCloud server you'll see a confirmation.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/direct-share-3.png
|
|
|
|
Your recipient on the other end of the link, on the remote ownCloud server,
|
|
will see a dialog asking them to confirm the new share. All they have to do is
|
|
click the **Add remote share** button, and it's done.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/direct-share-4.png
|
|
|
|
Click the Share button anytime to see who you have shared your file with. Remove
|
|
your linked share anytime by clicking the trash can icon. This only unlinks the
|
|
share, and does not delete any files.
|
|
|
|
Creating a New Federated Cloud Share via Email
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
What if you do not know the username or URL? Then you can have ownCloud create
|
|
the link for you and email it to your recipient.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/create_public_share-6.png
|
|
|
|
When your recipient receives your email they will have to take a number of
|
|
steps to complete the share link. First they must open the link you sent them in
|
|
a Web browser, and then click the **Add to your ownCloud** button.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/create_public_share-8.png
|
|
|
|
The **Add to your ownCloud** button changes to a form field, and your recipient
|
|
needs to enter the URL of their ownCloud server in this field and press the
|
|
return key, or click the arrow.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/create_public_share-9.png
|
|
|
|
Next, they will see a dialog asking to confirm. All they have to do is click
|
|
the **Add remote share** button and they're finished.
|
|
|
|
Remove your linked share anytime by clicking the trash can icon. This only
|
|
unlinks the share, and does not delete any files.
