========================
Connecting to SharePoint
========================
Native SharePoint support has been added to ownCloud Enterprise Subscription as
a secondary storage location for SharePoint 2007, 2010 and 2013. To the user,
these appear as normal ownCloud mounts, with bi-directional updates in any
ownCloud client: desktop, mobile, or Web. There is one difference, and that is
ownCloud sharing is intentionally disabled for SharePoint mountpoints in order
to preserve SharePoint access controls, and to ensure that content is properly
accessed as per SharePoint rules.
Your ownCloud admin may optionally allow users to mount their own SharePoint
libraries.
Accessing SharePoint Folders
----------------------------
When you first log in to ownCloud, the Web interface shows a gray bar behind all
SharePoint folders. The gray bar disappears when the mountpoint is verified by
the server. If you see a red error bar, you'll see either an hourglass that
indicates a connection error, or a key to indicate that authentication is
required.
Your ownCloud admin has the option to configure SharePoint credentials so that
you are authenticated automatically, or you may be required to enter your
credentials. If you have to enter your credentials, click the red bar and you'll
get a login window. You should only have to do this once, as ownCloud will store
your credentials.
If your SharePoint login ever changes, go to your Personal page to update it in
the ``Sharepoint Personal Configuration`` section.
Personal Page
-------------
You can manage your SharePoint connections in the ``Sharepoint Personal
Configuration`` section of your ownCloud Personal page. You'll see two sections:
the ``Admin added mount points`` section lists SharePoint mounts controlled by
your ownCloud admin. If users have permissions to mount their own SharePoint
libraries you'll also see a ``Personal mount points`` section.
There are two types of authentication available to you. If you have multiple
SharePoint libraries that use the same authentication, enter your credentials
in ``Sharepoint Personal Configuration``. Then follow these steps to add your
libraries:
* Enter the name of your local mountpoint in the ``Local Folder Name`` column.
This can be an existing folder, or automatically create a new one.
* Enter your SharePoint server URL.
* Click the little refresh icon to the left of the ``Document Library`` field.
If your credentials and URL are correct you'll get a dropdown list of SharePoint
libraries to choose from.
* Select the document library you want to mount.
* Select "Use user credentials".
* Click the ``Save`` button, and you're done
.. figure:: ../images/sharepoint-drive-config-user.png
You may elect to use different authentication credentials for some of your
SharePoint libraries. For these, you must first select ``use custom
credentials``, and then fill in the mountpoint and SharePoint site URL. Then
ownCloud can authenticate you, and you can click the refresh icon to see your
libraries. Then select the library you want to mount and click the ``Save``
button.

Managing Big Files
==================
There are a few default configuration settings that you will want to change to
enable ownCloud to operate more effectively as a self-hosted file sync and
share server.
When uploading through the web client, ownCloud is governed by PHP and Apache.
By default, PHP is configured for only 2 megabyte uploads. As this default
upload limit is not entirely useful, we recommend that you increase the
ownCloud variables to the sizes you want to support on your server.
Modifying certain ownCloud variables requires administrative access. If you
require larger upload limits than have been provided by the default (or already
set by your administrator):
* Contact your administrator to request an increase in these variables
* Refer to the section in the `Admin Documentation
<http://doc.owncloud.org/server/6.0/admin_manual/configuration/configuring_big_file_upload.html>`_

Version Control
===============
ownCloud supports simple version control system for files. Versioning creates
backups of files which are accessible via the Versions link. This link contains
the history of the file where you can roll back a file to any previous version.
Changes made at intervals greater than two minutes are saved in
data/[user]/versions.
To restore a specific version of a file, hover your cursor over a file and click
the *Versions* link. If any version is available, you should see a list like
the image below:
.. figure:: ../images/files_versioning.png
Clicking on *Restore* next to any version will revert the file to that
version back.
The versioning app expires old versions automatically to make sure that
the user doesn't run out of space. This pattern is used to delete
old versions:
* For the first second we keep one version
* For the first 10 seconds ownCloud keeps one version every 2 seconds
* For the first minute ownCloud keeps one version every 10 seconds
* For the first hour ownCloud keeps one version every minute
* For the first 24 hours ownCloud keeps one version every hour
* For the first 30 days ownCloud keeps one version every day
* After the first 30 days ownCloud keeps one version every week
The versions are adjusted along this pattern every time a new version gets
created.
The version app never uses more that 50% of the user's currently available free
space. If the stored versions exceed this limit, ownCloud deletes the oldest
versions until it meets the disk space limit again.
