This guide will help you set up SwitchDrive (based on Owncloud) on your personal workstation.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|

|
|
Install the owncloud-client via Puppet or manually via command line:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# install owncloud client
|
|
dnf install owncloud-client
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Open the Owncloud client from your application menu or via command line:
|
|

|
|
|
|
Connect to your SwitchDrive server:
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|

|
