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.
