Settings

By clicking Settings on the left you can change your username, email address and password, configure your guest users, and completely delete your account if you no longer want to use MyStorBox.

You can define guest users by clicking on Settings on the left. Each guest user has its own username and password, and can login to MyStorBox with guestusername@mainusername.

Each guest user has a default permission, but you can change this individually for every folder by opening its properties and clicking on Permissions. You can also use the shortcut icon that is shown on the right next to each folder in the list view.

You can choose between the following access levels:

Invisible : The folder and its contents cannot be seen or opened.
Read access : The folder and its contents can be displayed, downloaded and played.
Upload access : The folder has read access. Files can be uploaded and folders can be created.
Full access : The folder has read access and upload access. Its contents can be renamed, moved, overwritten and deleted.

Please note the following:

The main folder is always read-only and can't be changed
If you change a folder's permission, all subfolders will also be set to this permission
Newly created folders will always inherit the parent folder's permissions
When you move a folder into another folder it will also inherit the target folder's permissions

With davfs2 you can mount your MyStorBox storage as a local filesystem.

Run mount.davfs --help for information on basic usage
You can add an entry to /etc/fstab as follows:
https://webdav.mystorbox.de /path/to/mountpoint davfs defaults,user,rw 0 0
To mount the filesystem as normal user make sure you're in the group davfs2 (the group may be named differently in your distribution), and the SUID bit is set on mount.davfs
If you don't want to enter your credentials every time, you can add them to /etc/davfs2/secrets or ~/.davfs2/secrets
To improve performance, you can set the option use_locks 0 in /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf

Please refer to the manpages mount.davfs(8) and davfs2.conf(5) for further information.
