Providing Default Files¶
You may distribute a set of default files and folders to all users by placing
them in the owncloud/core/skeleton
directory on your ownCloud server.
These files appear only to new users after their initial login, and existing
users will not see files that are added to this directory after their first
login. The files in the skeleton
directory are copied into the users’
data directories, so they may change and delete the files without affecting the
originals.
This screenshot shows a set of photos in the skeleton
directory.

They appear on the user’s ownCloud Files page just like any other files.

Additional Configuration¶
The configuration option skeletondirectory
available in your config.php
(See Config.php Parameters) allows you to
configure the directory where the skeleton files are located. These files will
be copied to the data directory of new users. Leave empty to not copy any
skeleton files.
