User Tutorials

Owncloud has a few tutorials of their own:

*TWIT Recommends - generate a LINK to share via your email:

https://doc.owncloud.com/server/10.0/user_manual/files/webgui/sharing.html#using-private-links

(sharing via the application is not reliable - please generate a link and use your own email to share the link)
