Accessing your Files Using the ownCloud Web Interface
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
You can access your ownCloud files with the ownCloud web interface and create,
|
|
preview, edit, delete, share, and re-share files. Your ownCloud administrator
|
|
has the option to disable these features, so if any of them are missing on your
|
|
system ask your server administrator.

|

|
|
|
|
ownCloud can display thumbnail previews for image files, MP3 covers,
|
|
and text files, if this enabled by your server administrator. Hover your cursor
|
|
over a file or folder to expose the controls for the following operations:
|
|
|
|
Favorites
|
|
Click the star to the left of the file icon to mark it as a favorite, and
|
|
quickly find all of your favorites with the Favorites filter on the left
|
|
sidebar.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/files_page-1.png
|
|
:alt: Marking Favorite files.
|
|
|
|
Share
|
|
Share the file or folder with a group or other users, and create public
|
|
shares with hyperlinks. You can also see who you have shared with already,
|
|
and revoke shares by clicking the trash can icon. If username auto-completion
|
|
is enabled, when you start typing the user or group name ownCloud will
|
|
automatically complete it for you. If your administrator has enabled email
|
|
notifications, you can send an email notification of the new share from the
|
|
sharing screen.
|
|
|
|

|
|
:alt: Sharing files.
|
|
|
|
You have five share permissions:
|
|
|
|
* Can share; allows the users you share with to re-share.
|
|
* Can edit; allows the users you share with to edit your shared files, and to collaborate using the Documents app.
|
|
* Create; allows the users you share with to create new files and add them to the share.
|
|
* Change; allows uploading a new version of a shared file and replacing it.
|
|
* Delete; allows the users you share with to delete shared files.
|
|
|
|
Overflow Menu
|
|
The Overflow menu (three dots) displays file details, and allows you to
|
|
rename, download, or delete files.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/files_page-3.png
|
|
:alt: Overflow menu.
|
|
|
|
The Details view shows Activities, Sharing, and Versions information.

|
|
Previewing Files
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You can display uncompressed text files, OpenDocument files, videos, and image
|
|
files in the ownCloud embedded viewers by clicking on the file name. There may
|
|
be other file types you can preview if your ownCloud administrator has enabled
|
|
them. If ownCloud cannot display a file, it starts a download process and
|
|
downloads the file to your computer.
|
|
|
|
Video streaming by the native ownCloud video player depends on your Web browser
|
|
and the video format. If your ownCloud administrator has enabled video
|
|
streaming, and it doesn't work in your Web browser, it may be a browser issue.
|
|
|
|
Navigating Inside Your ownCloud
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Navigating through folders in ownCloud is as simple as clicking on a folder to
|
|
open it and using the back button on your browser to move to a previous level.
|
|
ownCloud also provides a navigation bar at the top of the Files field for quick
|
|
navigation.
|
|
|
|
Sharing Status Icons
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Any folder that has been shared is marked with the ``Shared`` overlay icon.
|
|
Public link shares are marked with a chain link. Un-shared folders are blank.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/files_page-5.png
|
|
:alt: Share status icons.
|
|
|
|
If your ownCloud server is the Enterprise Subscription, you may also have access
|
|
to Sharepoint and Windows Network Drive file shares. These have special status
|
|
icons. An icon with a red plugin and background means you have to enter a login
|
|
to get access to the share.

Creating or Uploading Files and Directories
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Upload or create new files or folders directly in an ownCloud folder by clicking
|
|
on the *New* button in the Files app.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/files_page-6.png
|
|
:alt: The New file/folder/upload menu.
|
|
|
|
The *New* button provides the following options:
|
|
|
|

|
Upload files from your computer into ownCloud. You can also upload files by
|
|
dragging and dropping them from your file manager.
|
|
|
|

|
Creates a new text file and adds the file to your current folder.
|
|
|
|
Folder
|
|
Creates a new folder in the current folder.
|
|
|
|
Selecting Files or Folders
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can select one or more files or folders by clicking on their checkboxes. To
|
|
select all files in the current directory, click on the checkbox located at the
|
|
top of the files listing.
|
|
|
|
When you select multiple files, you can delete all of them, or download them as
|
|
a ZIP file by using the ``Delete`` or ``Download`` buttons that appear at the
|
|
top.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If the ``Download`` button is not visible, the administrator has
|
|
disabled this feature.
|
|
|
|
Filtering the Files View
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The right sidebar on the Files page contains several filters for quickly sorting
|
|
and managing your files.
|
|
|
|
All files
|
|
The default view; displays all files that you have access to.
|
|
|
|
Favorites
|
|
Files or folders marked with the yellow star.
|
|
|
|
Shared with you
|
|
Displays all files shared with you by another user or group.
|
|
|
|
Shared with others
|
|
Displays all files that you have shared with other users or groups.
|
|
|
|
Shared by link
|
|
Displays all files that are shared by you via public link.
|
|
|
|
External Storage
|
|
Files that you have access to on external storage devices and services such
|
|
as Dropbox, Google, and Amazon S3.
|
|
|
|
Moving Files
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You can move files and folders by dragging and dropping them into any directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Change in Share Expiration Date
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In older versions of ownCloud, you could set an expiration date on both local
|
|
and public shares. Now you can set an expiration date only on public shares,
|
|
and local shares do not expire when public shares expire. The only way to
|
|
"expire" a local share is to click the trash can icon to un-share your files.
|
|
|
|
Creating or Connecting to a Federated Cloud Sharing Link
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Federated Cloud Sharing allows you to mount file shares from remote ownCloud
|
|
servers, and manage them just like a local share. In ownCloud 8 the process for
|
|
creating a new sharing link is easier and more streamlined. See
|
|
:doc:`federated_cloud_sharing` to learn to how to create and connect to new
|
|
Federated Cloud shares.
