Share my owncloud with friends

[Adriano_Oliveira]

I have a team in a game and we would like to put together clips of good and funny plays. I wanted to create a server and share via owncloud. I have the server running with owncloud, but I can’t access the cloud through another network besides mine. can you help me?

Hello Adriano.

This is a basic networking issue, you need a public IP, a domain name or a DynDNS.

Nothing ownCloud specific.

Can't access ownCloud Server from outside of my Network

You need a public IPv4 address and port forwarding on your router configured. This is, if you have a machine in your LAN and want people to able to access it from the internet. The better solution would be to rent a server and most of the time you get a publicly accessible domain name as part of the deal. If not - you can use a free DynDNS service. This is not an ownCloud issue though, this is basic network configuration, applicable to all kinds of servers and services.

Check for terms like “port forwarding” and “Dynamic DNS” / “DynDNS”.

I found videos like this, but this one is quite old:

There are also ways to achieve this without “port forwarding” and without “DynDNS”, you can use for example services like PageKite or ngrok…
