Setting Your Preferences
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
As a user, you can manage your personal settings.
|
|
|
|
To access your personal settings:
|
|
|
|
1. Clicking on your username in the top, right corner of your ownCloud instance.
|
|
|
|
The Personal Settings Menu opens.

|
2. Choose *Personal* from the drop down menu.
|
|
|
|
The Personal Settings Page opens in the main viewing window.

|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you are an administrator, you can also manage users and administer
|
|
the server by using the related links in the Personal Settings Menu.
|
|
However, these links do not appear to a normal user.
|
|
|
|
The options listed in the Personal Settings Page depend on the applications that
|
|
are enabled by the administrator. However, some of the default settings for
|
|
this page include the following:
|
|
|
|
Usage and available quota
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Appearing at the top of the page, this information provides the amount of space
|
|
used and available for the user (in Megabytes).

|
|
Password
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Enables you to change your password. To change your password, you must provide
|
|
your current password along with your new password. When creating a new
|
|
password, ownCloud provides a dynamic password strength indicator for your
|
|
assistance.

|
|
e-mail, specify your email address in the Email field (see below).
|
|
|
|
Full Name
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Enables you to specify your full name. This name appears at the top of the
|
|
Personal Settings Menu.

Email
|
|
-----
|
|
|

|
|
administrator in sending you notifications. For information about setting email
|
|
notifications, see "Notifications" below.

|
Profile picture
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Enables you to specify a new avatar (profile image) that identifies you on the
|
|
ownCloud server. By default, the profile picture is the first initial of your
|
|
username. You can choose to keep the letter designation, upload a new image
|
|
from an external source, or select an image from any existing images in your
|
|
ownCloud folders.

|
Notifications
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Enables you to specify what notifications you receive for activities on your
|
|
ownCloud instance. You can choose to receive messages through an email
|
|
notification or online stream notification. In addition, the Notifications
|
|
settings enable you to exclude changes that you make yourself and obtain only
|
|
changes made by others on your account. You can obtain email notifications
|
|
hourly, daily, or weekly.

|
Limit notifications to your favorite files
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Since ownCloud 8.1 it is possible to "Limit notifications about creation and
|
|
changes to your favorite files". This means you will no longer receive
|
|
notifications for all files, but only those which are marked as favorite or are
|
|
in a folder that is marked as a favorite.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This option is only available for the notification stream at the
|
|
moment, due to the way the email notifications are generated in ownCloud 8.1.
|
|
|
|
Save New Documents Location
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
If your ownCloud server admin has enabled the Documents app, you can specify a
|
|
location (folder) to which newly created documents are saved.

|
Version
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Specifies the ownCloud software version that you are using along with links to
|
|
the ownCloud community, source code, and licensing information.
