ownCloud once installed provides a highly configurable sharing environment for files that are accessible from a Web Browser User Interface (Web UI) or via the WebDAV sharing service built in to ownCloud. Stored files are accessible to ownCloud user accounts by various sharing configurations. Please note that Amahi and ownCloud user accounts are not the same thing. Amahi accounts are server provided while ownCloud user accounts are provided via the application.

* Physical file directory location: /var/hda/files/owncloud/data* Information about each file: “Meta Data” stored in an SQL database, Amahi uses MySQL.<br/>When files are uploaded to ownCloud the file storage updates are tightly integrated with the WebDAV access service. As a file is uploaded it is placed in a file directory and the database is updated with file meta information, such as the file name. The database is also used to store file sharing information later when configured. ownCloud provides an “External Storage Support” feature that supports Samba (SMB) access to files “external” to the ownCloud “internal” filesystem. This feature must be "enabled" via the ownCloud "admin" user Settings => Admin area.
