This is an old revision of the document!
There are several ways to use the LSCE cloud storage (aka sharebox). You should learn:
Have a quick look at the intranet 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 storage space you are currently using on sharebox, and what the upper limit is in the Settings
panel
The deleted folders and files can use some (a lot…) of space. Do not forget to really remove them regularly
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!

Quitting (one of the rare times when you can use the Quit ownCloud
button) and restarting ownCloud usually takes care of problems
Check that there is an ownCloud icon in the hidden icons of the taskbar (or start ownCloud) and that it has a green check-mark
ownCloud should always be running, unless you have used the Quit ownCloud
instead of Hide
by mistake in the interface.
You can start the ownCloud interface and check that ownCloud is operating properly (green check-mark)
You can use the Activity
panel to check the recent activity and make sure that ownCloud did everything as expected. If you see errors, try to correct them as soon as possible!
