This is the expected behavior. There is currently no locking done on ownCloud side for such files but you might be able to find some open feature requests at the https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues bugtracker.

Hi Lefherz, yes we try this app but only give us the chance to mark as locked but don't lock realy the file.
Many thanks.

See below for the feature request i mentioned above. This needs to be implemented by some to be able to fulfill your use case.

Does anyone know if this feature, Locking open file - WebDAV - multiple users, is available in Owncloud 10.3.x ?
