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.
