There are desktop clients available for syncing data directly from PCs running Windows, Mac OS, or Linux as well as mobile apps for iOS and Android devices. More importantly, stored data can be accessed using the ownCloud Web Frontend in any standards-compliant web browser. Any updates to files are pushed between all computers or mobile devices connected to a user's account.Clients: http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/https://owncloud.com/products/mobileapps

Naming and editing tips
Use descriptive names to identify the content/purpose of files, but not too long
Do not use spaces and avoid special characters such as ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) ` ; < > ? , [ ] { } ' " |Additionally those are sometimes special "-" and "_"One_word - google treats underscore as characterTwo-words - individual words when separated by dash
When using a sequential numbering system, using leading zeros for clarity and to make sure files sort in sequential order. For example, use "001, 002, ...010, 011 ... 100, 101, etc." instead of "1, 2, ...10, 11 ... 100, 101, etc."
DateInternational Standard Organiztion (ISO)standard 8601 allows different formats: YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDDExamples: 2012-01-26 or 20110602
