== Optional setup ==

=== ETH polybox / Owncloud client / webdav connection ===

You can set up the preinstalled application '''ownCloud desktop sync client''' (or on the command line with `owncloud -s`) to use the Polybox service at [[https://polybox.ethz.ch]] with your ETH user account to syncronise specific directories.

Alternatively you can set up the preinstalled backup solution `Backups` (or `deja-dup` on the command line) to backup to your Polybox through the webdav connection preconfigured in the file manager:
 1. Start `Backups`
 1. Create a new storage location of type ''Network Server''
 1. Use the ''Server Address'' `davs://polybox.ethz.ch/remote.php/webdav`
This is the recommended way to set up a storage location, as it ensures the connection to Polybox is activated automatically by `Backups` before running a backup.<<BR>>
Connecting to Polybox through the preconfigured file manager bookmark and subsequently setting this up as a storage location of type ''Local Folder'' is possible, but not recommended, as this will not automatically activate the connection before running a backup.

Keep in mind, the Polybox quota is 50 GB.

=== ETH printers ===

ETH central IT services provide a convenient application to install additional ETH printers besides the installed [[https://unlimited.ethz.ch/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=16452321|Follow-Me printing]]. The application is installed and called '''ETH Printers''' (`ethz-cups-config-app` on the command line). Its use should be self-explanatory.

=== OneDrive client ===

To use the Linux !OneDrive client available on managed laptops, each user has to authorize its usage personally:

 1. Log in to your ETH Microsoft account and open your [[https://myapps.microsoft.com/|MyApps page]].
 1. Under ''Add apps'' select ''Request new apps''
 1. Select ''!OneDrive Client for Linux''
 1. Klick on ''Add'' after selecting the app<<BR>>
 You should see a confirmation afterwards. If you don't, repeat the above steps.
 1. Open the application '''!OneDrive GUI''' on your laptop and follow the steps of the installation wizard

The client itself is a terminal command called `onedrive` with its own man page (see `man onedrive`).
