*The first configuration section to be setup is "File Handling". This section is used for setting up sets limits on the maximum upload and Zip file download sizes for the ownCloud instance. The first "Maximum upload size" put a limit on the size of each file to be uploaded in to ownCloud. The second sets a set a limit on the size of Zip file that ownCloud will take for input.

'''Maximum upload size:''' Used for setting a limit on the size for each file to be uploaded to ownCloud. '''Maximum input size for ZIP files:''' When checked ownCloud automatically creates a ZIP archive file when multiple files are selected for download. Once the ZIP file is created a download of this file is initiated. When unchecked this feature is disabled only one file at-a-time downloads are allowed.*In the example below a size of 2 GB is entered followed by clicking the Save button. When the next upload occurs a popup next to the upload bottom button will show the maximum upload per file size allowed by the ownCloud instance.

*<explain zip file input here>*ownCloud can store old versions of files when they are updated with a new version. This is a The "Files Versioning" setting that effects the entire ownCloud instance, it cannot be used on a per user basis. By default , versioning is enabled. In this example it has been unchecked. Reason? Well first ask the question, how important is it to keep backup old copies of files in the first place? It might be make sense in a small business environment on for a shared directory. But for a home environment it might not be important. Remember each Each new updated file uploaded in to ownCloud creates a copy of the old file, it all chews up disk space. The ownCloud instance might not have the luxury of additional storage space. Additionally who ever takes care of the ownCloud system instance will have to keep watch who is using up all of the system disk space.

Where When versioning is enabled each ownCloud user has a directory where their old file versions are stored.

*The following shows the default settings that are ownCloud instance wide for enabling/disabling "Sharing " of information.

Allows ownCloud applications to share information. Unchecked sharing for the ownCloud applications is disabled.

Enable/disable use of public links for sharing a file with an for anonymous users (no recipient ownCloud userIDs required).

Enabled any instance user currently setup to share information can reshare that information with other ownCloud instance users.

This is the last of the sharing configurations. This setting determines if sharing is completely instance wide for all users or user sharing will be defined by ownCloud Security Groups. It might be a good idea initially to leave it instance wide until the extent of sharing is better understood.

* There configuration for the ownCloud instance is done. Well for now anyway.
