* ownCloud maintains its own data storage directory area and is not the same as the shared directories (via Samba) created from the Amahi dashboard.  
 
* There is no "automatic upgrade" facility for new versions of ownCloud. An administration "update" feature is available, but will only work on a LAMP server using ownCloud install defaults. Once the "one-click install" Amahi package has been updated to a new version of ownCloud the package will have to be reinstalled. When reinstalling the ownCloud package make sure all data is backed up.
 
* "Applications" are available as "one-click installs" and can enhance ownCloud functionality. Some application are internal to ownCloud while others need to be downloaded, installed, and enabled (still one-click). Third party applications are considered "as-is", operation for some may be "quirky". therefore, support for the "3rd party" applications is the responsibility of each contributing author, unless they are absorbed in to the "core" ownCloud binaries. The administration apps setting will only display applications for the installed ownCloud version on the private host server.

===Navigating Your ownCloud===
 
 
 
Navigating through ownCloud is quite straight forward. After a user login the screen displays a menu on the left side. Please note that these are the initial "applications" supplied with the ownCloud Community release. The commercial versions of ownCloud are packaged a bit differently. As time goes by with the menu will change from an applications menu to a mix of other application plug-ins (when installed), or shared folders. Following are naviagation screenshots of each of the initial applications.
