There are several ways to use the LSCE cloud storage (aka sharebox). You should learn:
Have a quick look at the sharebox page, then open the sharebox URL in a browser and use your LSCE login and password to access the server.
If you have never used the LSCE sharebox server, try using it a bit:
Test
folder (on sharebox
!) and use drag and drop to upload a file from your computer to the new Test
folderTest
folder using a public linkTest
folder)
You can determine how much space you are currently using on sharebox, and what the upper limit is in the Settings
panel
Notes:
The ownCloud
application can be used to automatically mirror one (or more) folder(s) on your computer to the LSCE sharebox server, or another ownCloud server (e.g. CNRS mycore server).
This is a useful but limited kind of backup. If you remove a file on your computer by mistake when ownCloud is running, the file will also be removed from the sharebox server!
Add account

and Password
Manually create folder sync connections
and then click on Connect…
Add Folder Sync Connection
:Pick a local folder on your computer to sync
:<some_disk_different_from_c>:\Users\<your_login>_owncloud

:/Backup/your_login_owncloud
Use virtual files instead of donwloading content immediately
<some_disk_different_from_c>:\Users\<your_login>_owncloud
)/Backup/your_login_owncloud
). You will probably have to refresh the content of the browser window (use F5
as a shortcut for refreshing a browser window
* Monitoring the ownCloud activity
==== Checking that things are working correctly ====
<note important>There shouldn't be any problem, but you should check regularly that ownCloud is running correctly
Quitting (one of the rare times when you can use the
Quit ownCloud'' button) and restarting ownCloud usually takes care of problems</note>
