Using OwnCloud with RDS Terminal Servers

FIXME Incomplete

Documentation: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/latest/user_manual/files/access_webdav.html

In our experience, cloud storage services (particularly free cloud storage services) are not compatible with Remote Desktop Services…at least when multiple users are involved.

  • Tends to fill Windows system drive due to default storage location

As RDS 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. 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).
