Accessing your Files (Web Interface)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Your ownCloud files can be accessed from anywhere by using your ownCloud's web interface. In the files app,
|
|
you can view (if a common type), move, rename, download, share and delete your files easily. If versioning app is
|
|
enabled, you can also revert a file to specific version. See :doc:`versioncontrol` for details.

Files app on ownCloud web interface
|
|
|
|
With ownCloud 6, you can now see file thumbnails next to the filenames. By hovering your cursor on a file, you
|
|
will be provided with some file operations. You can use rename, download, share buttons to perform those actions
|
|
or click on the cross icon at the rightmost location to remove the hovered file. If the file is an editable
|
|
office file, it will also show *Edit* button to open the file in documents app (if this app is enabled).
|
|
|
|
Navigating inside your ownCloud
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To navigate through folders in your ownCloud, you can simply click on a folder name. The navigation bar
|
|
will show your current directory:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/oc_filesweb_navigate.png
|
|
Navigation bar
|
|
|
|
You can click on one of the upper directories to navigate up or use home icon to navigate back into your root
|
|
folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating/uploading files
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can create files by simply clicking on *New* button on files app. The *New* button will provide three
|
|
options to choose from:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/oc_filesweb_new.png
|
|
New button options
|
|
|
|
* *Text file* will create a simple text file and add into the current folder in your ownCloud.
|
|
* *Folder* will create a folder in current folder.
|
|
* *From link* will download the file from the provided link and place it into the current folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Selecting files
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
You can select one or more files by clicking on small thumbnails or icons of the files. To select all files in
|
|
the current directory, use the checkbox just above the first file/folder on the list.
|
|
|
|
If you select multiple files, selected files can be deleted or downloaded as ZIP by using the buttons just above of the file list.
|
|
If download button is not visible, this means that administrator had disabled this feature.
|
|
|
|
Viewing files
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
ownCloud can display uncompressed text files, OpenDocument files, PDFs, and image files by simply clicking on
|
|
the file name. If displaying of a file is not possible, a download process will start.
|
|
|
|
Moving files
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
In ownCloud web interface, file(s) can be moved by dragging and dropping them into a sub-directory. If you would like to move a directory to an upper directory, drag the file(s) into one of the folders shown in navigation bar (depicted above).
|
|
|
|
Sharing files
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Any file/folder on ownCloud can be shared to download with a local user, group or any person online with a public link. Shared files/folders will show a *Shared* text next to their names.
|
|
|
|
To share a file/folder, hover your cursor on an item in the files app and click *Share*. You will be provided with some options:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/oc_files_share.png
|
|
Share dialog
|
|
|
|
* The first field is to share this file/folder with local users/groups. This is very useful
|
|
if you are in a company and want to create a quick share with a collegue.
|
|
* If you click on *Share link*, the other options will be visible. Since this link allows everyone
|
|
to download this file/folder, you may want to protect this share with a password. To do that,
|
|
click on *Password protect* and set a password.
|
|
* If this share is a folder, you will also have an option to enable uploads into this folder using
|
|
the provided link. This is very useful to collect files from multiple users into same place easily.
|
|
* If your server is configured with a mail server, you can type e-mail addresses seperated with space to send the link to multiple users.
|
|
* Finally, setting an expiration date will expiry the share after the specified date.
|
|
|
|
If you type a user and/or group to the *share with* field, you will be given extra sharing options such as informing via e-mail,
|
|
letting users edit (create, update, delete, re-share) the share. To revoke permissions from users, simply click on trash icon
|
|
on the same line with the users.
