Hello ownCloud comunity,
i have a server running onwCloud X which i share with friends and relatives.
I want to allow them to encrypt their data on server side.
The problem is: we have a shared folder with musik, movies, etc. in it. This folder is scanned by another application which allows streaming (Plex). If i enable encryption Plex won’t be able to stream those files.
TL; DR
How can i exclude a folder from server side encryption.
I’m not aware of any possibility to configure this.
A possible workaround would be to use an external storage for that collection. When you mount it into ownCloud you can decide if it shall be encrypted or not. ownCloud Documentation Overview
Yes this might be a solution. However, on my settings page is the option “Local” for storage type (shown here: ownCloud Documentation Overview) missing.
This got disabled for security reasons to entertain roles of sysadmin versus ownCloud admin. If you are both, you can enable it in the settings.
“‘files_external_allow_create_new_local’ => false,
Set this property to true if you want to enable the files_external local mount Option.
Default: false”
Thank you very much! This led me to a solution i’m more than happy with.
Greetings to all OC developers you did an amazing job!
