| - | ===== Using owncloud to back up and synchronize folders ===== | + | ===== Using ownCloud and sharebox to share files 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 ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 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) | + | |
