Quota

Below shows the used and remaining space for the user. For information as to how this is calculated, refer to the ownCloud Quota Calculations document.

Password Change

If the user desires to change the password, do so in this section. Enter the current password followed by the new password and select “Change Password”. It should be noted, that when using LDAP authentication, the password is contained within the LDAP and not locally thus this field will not change the password.

Change Display Name

To change the way your name is displayed within ownCloud, enter the desired name under “Full Name”.

Add Email Address

For password recovery and share notifications, it is important for ownCloud to have an email on record. Enter the desired email address under the EMAIL section.

Avatar

ownCloud allows a user to upload an Avatar for their ownCloud instance. This can be done under the “Profile Picture” section of the Personal Page.

To upload a new Avatar, select the “Upload new” button. If the desired avatar exists on the ownCloud file system, select “Select new from Files” and to remove the avatar and return to the default, select “Remove image”

Language

If English is not the user’s native language, they may change the language in this section.

WebDAV

This provides the address to use in order to access a user’s files via WebDav.
