Owncloud

Owncloud is a platform for storing, syncing and sharing files. It is mainly targeted as alternative to Dropbox. Dropbox is highly political because the data is store somewhere in the world esp. USA, with data protection rules not compatible with ours. The Owcloud is hosted in our server room.

The address is [1].

The login is your normal ITP login. But this is already using the upcoming LDAP service. If you changed your password within the last year, the password my be wrong. If you don't remember your old password, please send a note to trouble@th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de. We will copy your recent (hashed) password to the LDAP. Don't (Never!) expose any password details.

On our Linux installation the the sync client is already installed. Search for "Owncloud desktop sync client", from the command line start "owncloud". The installation is self explaining. Use the server address from above.

For other operating systems the clients are offered for download from the first login, or from the owncloud website [2].
