	The default media directories provided by Amahi Home Server can be used to store media files and managed (i.e. uploads, deletions) by ownCloud. Although there is one caution, '''all management''' of the media files should be done via ownCloud. If Samba use continues for the media files there is a high risk the files will no longer be visible to users in ownCloud and other Amahi applications. Only a lot of manual changes to file ownership and permissions after any changes can provide visibility to ownCloud and other Amahi applications.

 All scenarios should allow other applications on Amahi to access the media files (i.e. [http://www.amahi.org/apps/dlna Amahi DLNA]). Regardless of which scenario is chosen some knowledge of Linux utilities will be required to do the configuration changes. The amount of configuration work needed is about the same for each scenario.
 '''Please Note:'''
 "Scenario 1" is not a configuration to be used when the Amahi Greyhole application is active in the Amahi Server. We hope to provide "wiki guidance" at some point where the Amahi Greyhole feature is used. The second Media Sharing scenario is a better fit as it has no dependencies on Amahi shares or the Greyhole feature.
