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. In future releases of ownCloud there are plans to provide an update function.
• The ownCloud Community default installation on a typical LAMP server places the data directory with the application binaries. The Amahi package places the data directory at "/var/hda/files/owncloud/data/".
• The Community default installation limits file upload sizes to "512 MB per file". This can be somewhat annoying uploads of large media files. The Amahi package limits upload sizes to "4.7 GB per file". Please notes that this size is subject to change by Amahi staff if server performance issues occur.
