Yes - I thought so too. I enabled it, but I see no way to configure it. Probably it's just me - but often with FOSS I find the the developers spend so much time developing and tweaking stuff that they know where everything is (much like I know where the obscure options in Excel are to be found), but the UI isn't conducive to new learner using. In fact, I find nowhere to configure anything except the Admin section - and it's not in there. Clicking on the app in the apps list just shows the author and the licence terms. Googling "owncloud configure user_external app" shows nothing - just results for configuring external storage.
