Hope you will find this useful, took me a bit of googling and clicking before it all worked for me! The great thing about this solution is that you can easily work with the online files stored in different services from one place! This is what it looks like in the file browser. Enter App key and App secret and you are all set! First you need to enable the external storage support, because it is not supported out of the box (at least not with my version) Apps -> Apps -> External storage support -> Enable.Īnd then Admin -> Admin -> External storage. The final stage is the configuration on the ownCloud side. Login to you Dropbox account and go to the developers application creation page. Choose Dropbox API app and fill in the details. Fill in the Redirect URIs, which is m圜loud URL. Dropbox is much easier, because it requires much less configuration! Google Drive is a little complicated, so check out the official tutorial. We will take a look at integrating Google Drive and Dropbox choose which one you want to start with. At the moment it supports multiple platforms such as Amazon Drive, OpenStack object storage, FTP, and more.
You can stop right here and enjoy the ride, or you can push it to the next level and integrate more services into ownCloud. In Gnome, go to Settings -> Online Accounts -> Add.Ĭhoose ownCloud service and put the info in (URL, user name and password) and you have integrated ownCloud into your Linux desktop! Now, you can work with files, calendar, and notes that are automatically synchronized. Now, it is time to do the integration on the desktop side. Now, you are good to go, you have 1 GB of online storage for free! For safety, make sure that you change the password during your first login. Then, it is time to login to your app using the generated password. Within OpenShift Online, in the main menu, click on the Add application button, and search for ownCloud if you do not see it on the list. Choose the URL of your application, and then starting the application in the cloud usually took OpenShift about 30 seconds. For this example, we will be using OpenShift Online free plan, but any hosting solution will work for a single user. You can also host ownCloud in your own infrastructure. To get started with ownCloud, you can choose from a list of providers, many of which offer a free plan. Each of them has some pros and cons, and the beauty of the solution is that I can now use this as one virtual storage integrated in my desktop. This is not rocket science really, all I did was a little bit of documentation reading, and a couple of clicks.Īll of the technologies used are for free for personal use. I was looking for an easy way to have all my online storage services, such as Google Drive and Dropbox, integrated with my Linux desktop without using some nasty hack, and I finally have a solution that works.
