I have a typical use case that I think a lot of people would have a similar situation but I cannot find a solution on the internet or even a discussion about it.
I have owncloud installed on a QNAP NAS in an office environment. This NAS has 36TB of usable space on RAID 5. I have multiple users that work from home so the owncloud sync client is great for those users but I have a user that is on the local network (at the office with the QNAP) that needs direct access to the files from his Mac (video editing).
I ssh into the QNAP and found the raid mount and then found the owncloud raw files. I have mounted this folder on his mac to access the owncloud files directly (which is fine cause this user is the VP so I’m not worried about folder/user permissions)
My question is, this seems terrible all around but it’s the only thing I can think of. I don’t want him to have to use the sync client cause these files are rather large AND since he’s messing around with a lot of video files, it would require his local mac workstation to have 10TB+ of local storage just for him to do his daily tasks.
Another question, does owncloud monitor files/folders automatically if you are modifying them outside of the sync client?
PLEASE point me in the right direction, this situation seems like it would be common. Thanks in advance!
