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. - diff --git a/user_manual/whats_new.rst b/user_manual/whats_new.rst index 24d3d902a..775e75a7b 100644 --- a/user_manual/whats_new.rst +++ b/user_manual/whats_new.rst @@ -1,66 +1,3 @@ -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.
