Things You Need to Know
- ownCloud maintains its own account security system and does not utilize the Amahi host server's user account system.
- 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 update facility for ownCloud, it must be done manually. It actually is not difficult to do and is documented on the ownCloud community site. In future releases of ownCloud there are plans to provide an update function.
