What's New for Admins in ownCloud 7
What's New for Admins in ownCloud 8
===================================
New User Management
-------------------
Admins can now view all ownCloud users in a single scrolling window, filter user
lists by group, and search by user display name using the new text filter. User
attributes have also been added, included the file storage location for each
user and the last time they logged in. New groups can be added with a click of
a button.
External Storage
----------------
Major improvements to the external storage app include support for FTP, Dropbox,
Google Drive, SFTP, Swift, S3, WebDAV, SMB/CIFS and more storage locations to
the ownCloud instance. You can control which storage types your users can set up
in their Personal tabs. Further performance improvements have made externally
mounted storage faster and more responsive.
Object Stores as Primary Storage
--------------------------------
Primary storage in ownCloud is where all files and folders are stored by
default. In contrast to secondary storage, primary storage is completely managed
by the ownCloud application. With ownCloud 7, ownCloud can now leverage SWIFT
and S3 (S3 is enterprise only) object stores as primary storage for ownCloud
files. Now admins can choose the best option for their specific need, including
local storage, network file system mounts, and object stores.
Server to Server Sharing
------------------------
ownCloud 7 servers can now connect shares with each other. With just a
few clicks you can easily and securely create public shares that are available
to other ownCloud 7 users on remote servers, and optionally allow your users to
also create their own public shares.
SharePoint Integration (Enterprise Edition only)
------------------------------------------------
Native SharePoint support has been added to ownCloud 7 Enterprise Edition as a
secondary storage location for SharePoint 2007, 2010 and 2013. When this is
enabled, users can access and sync all of their SharePoint content via ownCloud,
whether in the desktop sync, mobile or Web interfaces. Updated files are
bi-directionally synced automatically. SharePoint shares are created by the
ownCloud admin, and optionally by any users who have SharePoint credentials.
ownCloud preserves SharePoint ACLs to ensure content is restricted per
SharePoint rules.
Windows Network Drive Integration (Enterprise Edition only)
-----------------------------------------------------------
ownCloud has always supported mounting Windows network drives, and in OC7 EE it
is easier than ever for the administrator to mount Windows Network Drives
for a user, a group or the entire ownCloud instance, and allow each user to
access the network drives and preserve their ACLs. The network drives appear as
normal folders and files, and changes are bi-directionally synced between user
devices and the Windows network drives.
Sharing
-------
Sharing has been dramatically enhanced and streamlined, making it more flexible,
faster and accessible. Improvements include:
* Force Password:
Admins can now force users to set a password when they create shared
links. This ensures that files shared outside of ownCloud via a link
are properly secured by users.
* Share Link Default and Max Expiration:
When sharing a file with a link, admins can now require users to set a
specific expiration duration for the link.
* Antivirus Action Updates:
The Antivirus app has been enhanced to allow – with some minor
customization – the use of external virus scanners (rather than the
default ClamAV) in scanning files as they arrive on the server.
* The Shared folder has been removed from new installations of ownCloud 7:
Shared files now appear in the top level of your file tree on your Files
page, and you can change the default shared folder to any folder with the
``'share_folder'`` directive in ``config.php``. If you are upgrading from
older ownCloud versions you will still have your old Shared folder.
* Local shares do not expire with public shares:
In older versions of ownCloud, you could set an expiration date on both local
and public shares. Now you can set an expiration date only on public shares,
and local shares do not expire when public shares expire.
Email Configuration Wizard
--------------------------
The new graphical Email configuration wizard connects to your mail server in
just a few clicks, so that ownCloud can send automated messages to users.
ownCloud connects via PHP, Sendmail, or standard SMTP.
Editable Email Templates
------------------------
ownCloud admins can now edit the email templates that ownCloud uses for
automatic notifications on the Admin page.
Active Directory and LDAP Enhancements
--------------------------------------
Several improvements have been made to the LDAP and Active Directory plug-in
application, improving both the performance of the application as well as the
compatibility with OpenLDAP and Active Directory.

What's New for Users in ownCloud 7
What's New for Users in ownCloud 8
==================================
No More Shared Folder
---------------------
The Shared folder has been removed from ownCloud 7. If you are upgrading
from older ownCloud versions you will still have your old Shared folder,
but new shares will appear in the top-level of your Files page, and the Shared
folder is no longer required. You can now create your own folders for
storing shared files, and organize and move them around like any other files.
Selective Sync
--------------
The desktop client now makes it easier for users to configure which folders
on their ownCloud instances should be syncing with the desktop, and can easily
make changes for special circumstances such as travel and special projects.
Server to Server Sharing
------------------------
ownCloud 7 servers can now connect shares directly with each other. With just a
few clicks you can easily and securely connect to public shares on other
ownCloud servers, and optionally create public shares for sharing your own files
if your admin allows it.
File and Activity Notifications
-------------------------------
In ownCloud 7 you can set up automatic notifications on your ownCloud
Personal page of tracked activities such as new shares, and changed or deleted
files.
ownCloud Documents with Word Conversion
---------------------------------------
You can convert Word documents on the fly: open them in ownCloud for
editing, and live editing with other users, and when you close it reverts
to its original Word format with all of your changes embedded.
Mobile Web Browser Support
--------------------------
ownCloud 7 is friendly to small screens, and can be used on most tablet and
mobile browsers without requiring the use of a native mobile app. This provides
support for devices that do not have a native app, like Microsoft and
Blackberry.
Lazy Loading Files
------------------
Viewing your Files page is faster now thanks to "lazy loading", which loads
files as you scroll down the page instead of loading all of them when you open
the page.
Change in Share Expiration Date
-------------------------------
In older versions of ownCloud, you could set an expiration date on both local
and public shares. Now you can set an expiration date only on public shares,
and local shares do not expire when public shares expire. The only way to
"expire" a local share is to click the trash can icon to un-share your files.
