| - | ===== Using owncloud to back up and synchronize folders ===== | + | ===== Using ownCloud and sharebox to 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 //sharebox// manually for **sharing** some files, | ||
| + | - and then how to use //ownCloud// for **synchronizing** some folders | ||
| + | * ownCloud can **mirror** a folder on your local computer to the sharebox server. This is a useful but limited //kind of backup//. If you remove a file on your computer by mistake and ownCloud is running, the file will also be removed from the sharebox server! | ||
| + | - and then how to **synchronize** 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. | ||
| - | ==== Making backups with owncloud ==== | + | 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 ==== | ||
| + | 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) | ||
| + | |||
| + | * 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, but do not configure a server yet | ||
| + | * Open the ''Settings'' panel and check the recommended settings and usage on the image below{{ :other:owncloud_settings_notes.png?direct&600 |}} | ||
