Using the ownCloud Android App
==============================
Accessing your files on your ownCloud server via the Web interface is easy and
convenient, as you can use any Web browser on any operating system without
installing special client software. However, the ownCloud Android app offers
some advantages over the Web interface:
* A simplified interface that fits nicely on a tablet or smartphone
* Automatic synchronization of your files
* Instant uploads of photos or videos recorded on your Android device
* Easily add files from your device to ownCloud
* Two-factor authentication
Getting the ownCloud Android App
--------------------------------
One way to get your ownCloud Android app is to log into your ownCloud
server using a Web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Dolphin. The first time
you log in to a new ownCloud account you'll see a screen with a download link
to the ownCloud app in the
`Google Play store
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.owncloud.android>`_.

You will also find these links on your Personal page in the Web interface,
You can also get it from the `Amazon App store
<http://www.amazon.com/ownCloud-Inc/dp/B00944PQMK/>`_, and get source code and
more information from the `ownCloud download page
<http://owncloud.org/install/#desktop>`_.
Connecting to Your ownCloud Server
----------------------------------
The first time you run your ownCloud Android app it opens to a configuration
screen. Enter your server URL, login name, password, and click the Connect
button.

For best security your ownCloud server should be SSL-enabled, so that you can
connect via ``https``. The ownCloud app will test your connection as soon as
you enter it and tell you if you entered it correctly. If your server has a
self-signed SSL certificate you'll get a scary warning how it is not to be
trusted. Click the OK button to accept the certificate and complete your account
setup.
