I maybe understand you but I'm not sure.
I'm starting from scratch and I haven't put *anything* into the file storage. I want to simply select (say) two folders from my home directory on my desktop (say /home/chris/bin and /home/chris/holidays) and share them with my laptop. Can't I do that? I don't really want to share any of the stuff that comes by default, I want to share things on my desktop, laptop, etc. > Imagine your ownCloud has the folders "Documents" and "Music" besides > many others.

I think this is where I got to last time. OwnCloud really doesn't seem to do what I'd expect when it offers file sharing. I can't select *existing* files on my system and share them, that's surely what one should be able to do. Sorry if I sound rather negative but I do think this is something that OwnCloud has got wrong in its design. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ User mailing list User@owncloud.org http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/user
