}Caveats :
Even Though nuget packages are available to download I found that its giving exception when running each tasks. So better to download and create the DLL from source code.
Error in line 1 position 6. Expecting element ‘OCS’ from namespace ‘http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/owncloudsharp.Types’.. Encountered ‘Element’ with name ‘ocs’, namespace ”.
Mounting Windows Share as Data Folder
Create a network share in windows and assign permission for a specific user to access this folder.
In My case : //192.168.1.224/Share2/ , username : test , Password : haneef
Now open own cloud server through SSH and mount this share as drive
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
sudo mkdir /media/ocshare
sudo nano /etc/fstab
//192.168.1.224/Share2/ /media/ocshare cifs sec=ntlmv2,uid=www-data,username=test,password=test1234,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770
sudo mount -a
Refer this documentation for Moving owncloud data folder : https://doc.owncloud.com/server/admin_manual/maintenance/manually-moving-data-folders.html#introduction
Manually Adding files to the User Folder
If you manually add files to owncloud folder run below command to sync owncloud database
sudo occ files:scan username
Adding File Scan to Cronjob
sudo crontab -u www-data -e
Select Nano as editor
Add Below lines
*/2 * * * * /var/www/owncloud/occ files:scan username
Deleting New User folder default files
When you create new user owncloud will add few default files. Use below commands to remove them
cd /var/www/owncloud/core/skeleton
sudo rm -r *
Setting zero quota for any owncloud user using c#
c.SetUserAttribute(“demo2”, OCSUserAttributeKey.Quota, “0”);
