Local
=====
Local storages provide access to any directory on the ownCloud server. Since
this is a significant security risk, Local storage can only be configured in
the ownCloud admin settings. Non-admin users cannot create Local storage
mounts.
Use this to mount any directory on your ownCloud server that is outside
of your ownCloud ``data/`` directory. This directory must be readable and
writable by your HTTP server user. These ownership and permission examples
are on Ubuntu Linux::
sudo -u www-data chown -R www-data:www-data /localdir
sudo -u www-data chmod -R 0750 /localdir
See :ref:`label-setting-strong-perms` for information on correct file permissions,
and find your HTTP user :ref:`label-phpinfo`.
In the **Folder name** field enter the folder name that you want to appear on
your ownCloud Files page.
In the **Configuration** field enter the full filepath of the directory you
want to mount.
In the **Available for** field enter the users or groups who have permission to
access the mount. By default all users have access.

options and information.
