What's New for Users in ownCloud |version|
==========================================
Groups Listings on Personal Page
--------------------------------
Now you can see which ownCloud groups you belong to on your Personal page in the
Web interface.
Desktop Sync Client Shares From File Manager, Selective Sync
------------------------------------------------------------
The Desktop Sync Client now allows you to share files directly from your file
manager, and has a new graphical selective sync file chooser. See the `ownCloud
Desktop Client Manual <http://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/2.0/>`_ for more
information.
.. _favorites-label:
Favorites
---------
Users can now assign a favorite icon to files and folders. Look for
improvements in this feature in future ownCloud editions to make finding and
managing files even easier.
Improved Federated Cloud Sharing
--------------------------------
Federated Cloud Sharing, introduced in ownCloud 7 as Server-to-Server sharing,
allows you to mount file shares from remote ownCloud servers, and create a
"cloud of ownClouds". In ownCloud 8 the process for creating a new
sharing link is easier and more streamlined.
Improved Search
---------------
The search interface has been streamlined and simplified, with more features
including enhanced result set reporting and additional search parameters.
Web Interface Enhancements
--------------------------
The ownCloud Web interface has been improved to make it easier for all users to
access, edit, sync and share their files.
Download Broker Improves Performance
------------------------------------
When ownCloud delivers universal file access to end users, files from many
different document sources are aggregated into a single interface and served to
end users. In some cases, passing all of the files aggregated in this interface
through a single server, ownCloud, slows down data access. ownCloud now
supports direct downloads of files from select storage back-ends, reducing the
load on the ownCloud server without sacrificing control over the files that are
stored in the various back end systems.
