===== Using owncloud to back up and synchronize folders ===== | ===== Using owncloud to back up and synchronize folders ===== | ||
+ | There are several ways to use the [[https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/informatique/en/owncloud/|LSCE cloud storage]] (aka //sharebox//). You should learn how to: | ||
+ | - use it manually for **sharing** some files, | ||
+ | - and then how to use it for **backing up** some folders | ||
+ | - and **synchronizing** folders on different computers (very useful, and possibly risky) | ||
==== Using the LSCE sharebox server ==== | ==== Using the LSCE sharebox server ==== | ||
+ | Have a quick look at the [[https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/informatique/en/owncloud/|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: | ||
+ | * Create a new ''Test'' folder (on ''sharebox''!) and use drag and drop to upload a file from your computer to the new ''Test'' folder | ||
+ | * Learn how to share the ''Test'' folder using a //public link// | ||
+ | * Use the public link in another browser (or in a new //incognito window// of the same browser) to find out how people with the link will see the content of the folder you have shared | ||
+ | * Try to share only the uploaded file (instead of the full content of the ''Test'' folder) | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can determine how much space you are currently using on sharebox, and what the upper limit is in the ''Settings'' panel{{ :other:sharebox_limits_notes.png?direct&600 |}} | ||
==== Making backups with owncloud ==== | ==== Making backups with owncloud ==== | ||
+ | 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) | ||
+ | * Download and install the [[https://owncloud.com/desktop-app/|owncloud Desktop App]] | ||
+ | * You will also have to restart your computer (after installation or later) to complete the installation | ||
+ | * Launch owncloud, do not configure a server yet, and open the ''Settings'' panel | ||
+ | * Check the recommended settings and usage on the image below{{ :other:owncloud_settings_notes.png?direct&600 |}} | ||
