Managing Files
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now you should see the Files page of your ownCloud account. Click the overflow
|
||||
button at the top right (that's the one with three vertical dots, and that is
|
||||
really what it is called) to open a user menu. ``Refresh account`` refreshes the
|
||||
page view. ``Settings`` take you to your settings menu. ``Sort`` gives you the
|
||||
option to sort your files by date, or alphabetically.
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /images/android-files-page.png
|
||||
|
||||
The little file folder icon to the left of the overflow button opens a dialog to
|
||||
create a new folder. The arrow button opens a file upload dialog, and you can
|
||||
either upload content from other Android apps such as Google Drive, the Gallery,
|
||||
your music player, or from your Android filesystem. When you add a new file
|
||||
you will see a confirmation on the top left when it has uploaded successfully,
|
||||
and it is immediately synchronized with the server.
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /images/android-upload.png
|
||||
|
||||
All files (that you have permission to access) on your ownCloud server are
|
||||
displayed in your Android app, but are not downloaded until you download them.
|
||||
Downloaded files are marked with a green arrow.

Download and preview a file with a short press on the filename. When the file
|
||||
is in preview mode, a short press on the overflow button opens a menu with
|
||||
options for sharing, opening with an app, removing, sending, and displaying file
|
||||
details.

|
||||
A long press on the filename does not download it, but opens a dialog with
|
||||
options for sharing, downloading, renaming, moving, removing, sending, and
|
||||
viewing file details.

Settings
|

--------
|
||||
|
||||
The Settings screen offers a number of useful options. In the Accounts
|
||||
section you can configure multiple ownCloud accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
The Security section sets up strong two-factor authentication by allowing you
|
||||
to add a PIN (personal identification number) to access your account.
|
||||
|
||||
The Instant Uploads section creates a directory, :file:`/InstantUpload`, and
|
||||
any photos or videos created with your Android device's camera are instantly
|
||||
uploaded to this directory. You also have the option to choose any other
|
||||
existing directory. Another nice option is Upload Pictures/Video via WiFi Only,
|
||||
to save precious cell minutes.
|
||||
|

The bottom section of the Settings screen has links to help and the
