To "provide" myself an admin view on the owncloud installation, I browse the files on the server file system. Changing there things (moving, adding, deleting) should be followed by rebuilding the owncloud database. I use that sometimes to restore lost files from backup or to mass import files for a user. I didn't ran into trouble yet doing that :-)
I use the following script cd /var/owncloudfiles/#/files chown -R www-data:www-data * cd /var/www/owncloud sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan # Where you replace # by the username of the user who's files you were tampering with. /var/owncloudfiles : the folder where my owncloud files reside in /var/www/owncloud : the folder where the owncloud software is www-data : the user that runs the webserver Kind regards Koen 2015-03-24 21:57 GMT+01:00 Mike Morris <[email protected]>: > On 03/24/2015 01:03 PM, Chris wrote: > > Hi, > > > But I actually don't see any way to do that.
