I am an ownCloud newbie, but I would do that by copying it all to a local directory, then using these directions to mount that directory for one user.

http://owncloud.org/support/custom-mount-configuration/

(See under "Local filesystem".)

That user can then share the stuff to others, and in doing that, adjust privileges for individual users (read, write, etc.).

The directions don't mention that you must manually create the directory in the user's directory (for example <user>/files/newdirectory
)

Watch out for user directory sizes, they may bulge big fast, as ownCloud saves new versions of files, even if the user only logs in and views his/her files. I don't know other way to counter this than to remove the user from time to time and then establish them again.

My company is changing to ownCloud but has a lot of files in dropbox
that need to be moved to ownCloud because they intend to leave
dropbox...besides uploading one file at a time is there any other way
that might be faster? we are talking about aprox 50GB.

Mapping dropbox as external data storage is not an option as the idea is
to leave dropbox.
