-====== Using OwnCloud with RDS Terminal Servers ======
-**Documentation**: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/latest/user_manual/files/access_webdav.html
-Most cloud storage services (particularly free cloud storage services) are **not compatible with Remote Desktop Services**...at least when multiple users are involved.
-<note important>Most cloud storage clients tend to **fill the Windows system drive**.
-Using **WebDAV** to access your OwnCloud storage **eliminates this problem**.</note>
-As RDS (Remote Desktop Services; multi-user Windows) is quite popular, this has been a fairly large problem for many of our customers in the past.
-**We are now offering OwnCloud cloud storage for personal or business use**.
-We have found a safe method for implementing cloud storage on RDS servers, where stored data can readily be accessed by multiple users on an RDS system.  However, the data is not synchronized to (copied to) the RDS server eliminating the primary risk. {{ :computing:storage:owncloud_mapped_drive.png|Mapped Drive to OwnCloud via WebDAV}}
-Individual users will see a mapped drive to their OwnCloud storage, just about like any other mapped drive (network share).

-===== Map a Drive Letter =====
-Simple way to map a drive in Windows:
-  - Open the **Windows File Manager**
-  - **Right-click on ''Computer''** and select **''Map network drive''**
-    * The icon may be named ''This PC'' or ''My Computer''
-  - **Choose a drive letter** you want to map to OwnCloud
-  - **Specify the URL** to your OwnCloud instance
-**Example**: https://oc.virtualarchitects.com/remote.php/webdav
-<note tip>For SSL protected servers, check ''Reconnect at logon'' to ensure that the mapping is persistent upon subsequent reboots. If you want to connect to the OwnCloud server as a different user, check Connect using different credentials.</note>
