__TOC__

Amahi Home Server provides a set of “Storage Shares” that are available to all Amahi user accounts. Some of them are provided for the purposes of storing media files (Music, Pictures, Movies) for all Amahi users to access. These shares are usually shared via the Samba (SMB) sharing service on the Amahi Home Server.

* Storing media files in the shares is usually done by mounting each share locally on a client workstation via the SMB service on Amahi.

ownCloud provides a highly configurable sharing environment for files that are accessible from a Web Browser User Interface (Web UI), the WebDAV service built in to ownCloud, or an ownCloud Sync client installed on a workstation.
