Owncloud portable devices access

Owncloud have apps for Android and IPhone portable devices. The official app for Android has a cost of 9.60ARS (~1 US dollar), but it has a free (free of charge) app too.

Paid App link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.owncloud.android

Free (of charge) app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ocloud24.android

I've been testing both, the offical app and the free of charge app, they both work pretty well.

The procedure for accessing llama owncloud services once you installed the app is similar to the windows or linux procedures, the important data you have to know is:

• Owncloud llama server:

• Your Username
• Your Password

Here are some screenshots for the paid app, the free of charge app has the same interface
