Installing ownCloud 9 on CentOS 7

Do you have to use a Sync folder to Sync with the oC server using the oC client? The reason I ask(which may be the wrong thought process) is I don't want any of the files in my oC server to be saved locally permanently. I'd want the file to be downloaded to access and then once the changes are made and it sync's with the server I'd like it to be deleted. Is this possible? Am I thinking about this incorrectly?

How can you "sync" on save if you download manually?
Obviously, the sync client handles all of this.
If you do not want that, then you have to deal with teaching people how to download and upload files.
But you still have a local file when you do that.
What forces the user to delete the local file after editing?

You can add an application to ownCloud to get online editing capability if that is what you want.

This is absolutely fantastic. I need to look a the apps obviously. Thanks!
Edit: Actually I can't do what I may need to. I'll explain below.

Is this the same as using Google Docs or MS's Web Office? How's the feature set in this online editing solution?

Let me explain my situation in more detail to be as accurate as I can be. I basically have a ton of sites that aren't connected to the domain. They are logging into a local account and accessing everything through a terminal server with their domain credentials. I don't want a local account that has access to all of these files basically. What do you recommend @JaredBusch ?

So let them have access to the things via the terminal server?

I want to get rid of the terminal server, file server and exchange server. Move to O365 and oC

You work for a non-profit, right?
You can move to Google Apps for 100% free I believe.
You can move to O365 E1 for 100% free, so you've said in previous posts...
Both of those options are single wholely unified solutions - no need to split things over two systems.. both 100% browser accessed with nothing needed locally. -
through offline conversations @wirestyle22 is telling me that MS is telling him he has to pay for SharePoint outside of his E1 free account.
This just doesn't make sense, unless the free account that MS gives non-profits is really not an O365 account, but instead is really just Hosted Exchange.

E1 has never included SharePoint.

I think it's ODfB sync, right? Different product

Right.

Well, then E2 must have been the plan that included it.
Plenty of customers, like myself, need Hosted Exchange with Hosted SharePoint, but not local Office.
There was another option in the past for that. Now they are making it appear there are only two options.. .either E1 - basically only Hosted Exchange, or E3 - the kitchen sink.
Of course you can buy E1, Hosted Exchange and through a different license you can get Hosted SharePoint, but it's not an obvious option on that screen.

That's OneDrive for Business. While it does use Sharepoint as a backend I don't think it works that same as a team site.

Yeah - I know, that's why i didn't list SharePoint - so the question then becomes, how do you keep something in your own ODfB yet share it with the rest of the company and make it easy for them to locate?

how does the sync client with with oC?
Let's assume I have a 20 GB S: (SMB) drive I want to move to ownCloud. To have my local Word/Excel use it like I use my S: drive, do I have to sync the whole 20 GB locally?
If there are four folders in the root of S:
IT
Finance
Billing
PolicesLet's say I normally work in IT, so I sync the IT folder, but now I want to edit something in the Finance folder, do I have to visit the oC website, download, edit, upload, delete the downloaded file? or does sync allow me to add the file on the fly?

That's the issue. That's what you pay for with Sharepoint. This is based on what was explained to me by Microsoft.

It syncs your changes using a sync folder you designate on your local PC. Download > Edit > Upload. You don't have to manually do it. The client takes care of it for you.
