The ownCloud Web Interface
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
You can connect to ownCloud with your web browser by pointing
|
|
it to the address that you have received from your service
|
|
provider. In case you are administering the server yourself,
|
|
have a look at `ownCloud Administrators Manual <http://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/admin_manual/>`_.
|
|
|
|
When you enter the URL, you will receive a page that is similar
|
|
to the one depicted below:

|
|
|
Login with the user name and password with you have received from
|
|
your service provider. If you have set up the server yourself,
|
|
log in with the user name which you have created during the
|
|
setup process. You can add further users through the settings,
|
|
or by hooking up a user backend, such as LDAP.

|
|
The ownCloud main interface with the essential elements numbered
|
|
|
|
The web interface comprises of the following items:
|
|
|
|
1. **Apps menu**: Allows navigation between different parts of ownCloud,
|
|
provided by apps. Administrators will also see a button called **Apps**.
|
|
Using this button allows administrators to enable/disable apps.
|
|
2. **Application view**: This is where apps show their content. By default, this
|
|
will show the files and directory (file view) of your user on the ownCloud
|
|
installation.
|
|
3. **New/Upload button**: This allows you to create new files or upload
|
|
existing ones from your device. Note that you can also drop files from
|
|
Explorer or Finder onto the ownCloud file view and they will get uploaded to
|
|
ownCloud. With *New* button, you can create a text file, folder or download
|
|
a file from the provided URL.
|
|
4. **Search/Settings**: *Search* allows you to look for files and
|
|
directories. Currently, ownCloud provides a full text search. If full text seach does
|
|
not work, administrators need to enable this app from app settings.
|
|
*Settings* menu provides access to the settings menu, where you can
|
|
change your personal settings, such as the interface language or your
|
|
password. You can also retrieve the WebDAV URL (see next chapter) and show
|
|
your quota. Administrators will also get access to user management
|
|
(:guilabel:`Users`), the apps settings (:guilabel:`Apps`) and administrative settings (:guilabel:`Admin`)
|
|
including access to ownCloud's log. You will also find logout button in this menu.
|
|
5. **App Settings** field will contain various sections to access different views of the app. For example,
|
|
files app will allow you to see the files *Shared with you* or *Shared with others*.
|
|
This field may also include a |gear| icon to access to various options provided by the app.
