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.
