Configuring the Activity App
Introduction
You can configure your ownCloud server to automatically send out e-mail notifications to your users for various events like:
-
A file or folder has been shared
-
A new file or folder has been created
-
A file or folder has been changed
-
A file or folder has been deleted
Users can see actions (delete, add, modify) that happen to files they have access to. Sharing actions are only visible to the sharer and recipient.
Enabling the Activity App
The Activity App is shipped and enabled by default. If it is not enabled, go to your ownCloud Apps page to enable it.
Configuring your ownCloud for the Activity App
A working e-mail configuration is required to configure your ownCloud to send out e-mail notifications.
Furthermore, it is recommended to configure the background job Webcron
or Cron
.
There is also a configuration option activity_expire_days
available in your config.php
which allows you to clean-up older activities from the database.
