The ownCloud Web Interface
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
You can connect to your ownCloud server using any web browser. To access the ownCloud server using a web browser, specify the uniform resource link (URL) address of the server in the browser navigation bar. This can be the URL address of your personal ownCloud setup or a URL address that you have received from your company or your service provider.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you are administering the server yourself, we recommend that you read the `ownCloud Administrators Guide <http://doc.owncloud.org/server/6.0/admin_manual/>`_.
|
|
|
|

|
|

To access the ownCloud web interface:
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the URL address of the ownCloud server into your browser navigation bar.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. Enter your valid username and password.
|
|
|
|
The username and password combination can be those that you set up yourself
|
|
when creating your ownCloud server setup or those provided by your company or
|
|
your service provider.
|
|
|
|
If you have set up the server yourself or are administering the server, you
|
|
can add additional users by configuring a user backend (for example, LDAP).
|
|
|
|
3. Click the :guilabel:`Log in` button.
|
|
|
|
The ownCloud main interface opens.

Navigating the Main User Interface
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once you have accessed the ownCloud Server main web interface you can add files, remove files, and make changes based on the access privileges set by you
|
|
(if you are administering the server) or by your server administrator.

|
|
|
|
**Navigating the main user interface**
|
|
|
|
The ownCloud Main User Interface contains the following fields and functions:
|
|
|
|
* **Apps Selection Menu**: Located in the upper left corner of the user
|
|
interface, this bar contains apps that are configured on the ownCloud server.
|
|
The icons in this bar enable you to launch the different apps available and
|
|
navigate between them within the ownCloud user interface.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: ownCloud supports a number of apps that can be installed and used for
|
|
various features and functions. Not all apps are installed and enabled by
|
|
default. For example, the :guilabel:`Apps` button is visible only to
|
|
administrators. This button allows administrators to enable or disable
|
|
installed applications.
|
|
|
|
* **Apps Information** field: Located in the left side bar, this field provides
|
|
filters and tasks associated with the chosen app. For example, using the
|
|
Files app, you can use the filters in the apps information field to view only
|
|
files that have been shared with you, files that you have shared with others,
|
|
files that you have shared through the use of a link, or an option to delete
|
|
files. Other app-specific information fields might provide tasks for creating
|
|
new documents or modifying calendar entries.
|
|
|
|
* **Application View**: The main, central field in the ownCloud user interface.
|
|
This field displays the contents or user features of the app selected in the
|
|
Navigation Bar. By default, this field shows the files and directory
|
|
("Files" view) of your user account.
|
|
|
|
* **Navigation Bar**: Located over the main viewing window (the Application
|
|
View), this bar provides a type of breadcrumbs navigation that enables you to
|
|
migrate to higher levels of the folder hierarchy up to the root level (home) of your ownCloud instance.
|
|
|
|
* **New** button: Located in the Navigation Bar, the :guilabel:`New` button
|
|
enables you to create new files, new folders, or upload existing files from a
|
|
specified link.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You can also drag and drop files from your file manager (e.g. Windows Explorer
|
|
or your Mac OS X Finder) into the ownCloud Files Application View to upload them to ownCloud.
|
|
|
|
* **Upload** button: Located next to the :guilabel:`New` button in the
|
|
Navigation Bar, the :guilabel:`Upload` button enables you to upload files
|
|
from your system to the ownCloud server. Clicking this button launches a
|
|
file picker (e.g. Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder) window with which you
|
|
can choose files for uploading.
|
|
|
|
* **Search** field: Residing in the upper right hand corner of the Main User
|
|
Interface window, the Search field enables you to search for files and
|
|
folders stored in ownCloud. The ownCloud search function provides a full text
|
|
search. However, for searching to function, administrators must enable the app
|
|
in the search app settings.
|
|
|
|
* **Personal Settings** menu: Located to the right of the Search field, the
|
|
Personal Settings dropdown menu provides access to your personal settings
|
|
page and the ability to log out of your ownCloud user session. The personal
|
|
settings page provides access to the following:
|
|
|
|
* Server usage and space availability
|
|
* Password management
|
|
* Name, email, and profile picture settings
|
|
* Interface language settings
|
|
* WebDAV URL for receiving files using WebDAV (see next chapter).
|
|
* Mozilla Sync information for creating a synchronization to a Mozilla (Firefox) account.
|
|
* ownCloud Version information
|
|
|
|
You can see :doc:`userpreferences` section to learn more about those settings.
|
|
|
|
In addition to these standard settings, administrators have access to user
|
|
management (:guilabel:`Users`), apps settings (:guilabel:`Apps`), and
|
|
administrative settings (:guilabel:`Admin`) including access to the ownCloud
|
|
log files.
