+What's New for Admins in ownCloud 7
+=================
+
+New User Management
+------------------
+
+Admins can now view all ownCloud users in a single scrolling window, filter user 
+lists by group, and search by user display name using the new text filter. User 
+attributes have also been added, included the file storage location for each 
+user and the last time they logged in. New groups can be added with a click of 
+a button.
+
+External Storage
+---------------
+
+Major improvements to the external storage app include support for FTP, Dropbox, 
+Google Drive, sFTP, Swift, S3, WebDAV, SMB/CIFS and more storage locations to 
+the ownCloud instance. You can control which storage types your users can set up 
+in their Personal tabs. Further performance improvements have made externally 
+mounted storage faster and more responsive.
+
+Server to Server Sharing
+----------------------
+
+ownCloud 7 servers can now connect shares with each other. With just a 
+few clicks you can easily and securely create public shares that are available 
+to other ownCloud 7 users on remote servers, and optionally allow your users to 
+also create their own public shares.
+
+
+SharePoint Integration (Enterprise Edition only)
+----------------------
+
+Native SharePoint support has been added to ownCloud 7 Enterprise Edition as a 
+secondary storage location for SharePoint 2007, 2010 and 2013. When this is 
+enabled, users can access and sync all of their SharePoint content via ownCloud, 
+whether in the desktop sync, mobile or Web interfaces. Updated files are 
+bi-directionally synced automatically. SharePoint shares are created by the 
+ownCloud admin, and optionally by any users who have SharePoint credentials. 
+ownCloud preserves SharePoint ACLs to ensure content is restricted per
+SharePoint rules.
+
+Windows Network Drive Integration (Enterprise Edition only)
+--------------------------------
+
+ownCloud has always supported mounting Windows network drives, and in OC7 EE it 
+is easier than ever for the administrator to mount Windows Network Drives 
+for a user, a group or the entire ownCloud instance, and allow each user to 
+access the network drives and preserve their ACLs. The network drives appear as 
+normal folders and files, and changes are bi-directionally synced between user 
+devices and the Windows network drives.
+
+
+Sharing
+------
+
+Sharing has been dramatically enhanced and streamlined, making it more flexible, 
+faster and accessible. Improvements include:
+
+* Force Password: Admins can now force users to set a password when they create 
+   shared links. This ensures that files shared outside of ownCloud via a link 
+   are properly secured by users.
+
+* Share Link Default and Max Expiration: When sharing a file with a link, 
+   admins can now require users to set a password, and set a specific 
+   expiration duration for the link.
+
+* Antivirus Action Updates: The Antivirus app has been enhanced to allow – 
+   with some minor customization – the use of external virus scanners (rather 
+   than the default ClamAV) in scanning files as they arrive on the server.
+
+ 
+SMTP Configuration Wizard
+-----------------------
+
+The new graphical SMTP configuration connects to your mail server in just a few 
+clicks, so that ownCloud can send automated messages to users. ownCloud 
+connects via PHP, Sendmail, or standard SMTP.
+
+Editable email Templates
+-------------------
+
+ownCloud admins can now edit the email templates that ownCloud uses for 
+automatic notifications on the Admin page.
+
+
+Active Directory and LDAP Enhancements
+------------------
+
+Several improvements have been made to the LDAP and Active Directory plug-in 
+application, improving both the performance of the application as well as the 
+compatibility with OpenLDAP and Active Directory.

-New in ownCloud 7
+What's New for Users in ownCloud 7
 =================
 
-Changes to the "Shared" folder
+No More Shared Folder
 ------------------------------
 
-For all existing ownCloud users: the “Shared” folder has been removed from the ownCloud server. As a result, newly shared files and folders no longer appear in a folder called “Shared”, they appear in the root user’s folder. For example, if Bob shares a folder called “sales” with Earl in ownCloud 6, Earl will see  the “Shared” folder appear, and then the folder “sales” appears within “Shared”. Now, in ownCloud 7, the same sharing activity would create a folder called “sales” in Earl’s ro [...]
+The Shared folder has been removed from ownCloud 7. If you are upgrading 
+from older ownCloud versions you will still have your old Shared folder, 
+but new shares will appear in the top-level of your Files page, and the Shared 
+folder is no longer required. You can now create your own folders for 
+storing shared files, and organize and move them around like any other files.
 
+Selective Sync
+---------
+The desktop client now makes it easier for users to configure which folders 
+on their ownCloud instances should be syncing with the desktop, and can easily 
+make changes for special circumstances such as travel and special projects.
 
-If users currently have an earlier version of ownCloud and have shared files and folders via the “Shared” directory, the files and folders will continue to reside in the “Shared” directory after an ownCloud 7 upgrade. However, any files or folders shared after the upgrade will appear in the user’s root directory. These files and folders can be dragged anywhere in the ownCloud file tree (except into another folder that has been shared with this user). For example, the files and folders co [...]
+
+Server to Server Sharing
+----------------------
+
+ownCloud 7 servers can now connect shares directly with each other. With just a 
+few clicks you can easily and securely connect to public shares on other 
+ownCloud servers, and optionally create public shares for sharing your own files 
+if your admin allows it. 
+
+File and Activity Notifications
+------------------
+
+In ownCloud 7 you can set up automatic notifications of tracked 
+activities such as new shares, and changed or deleted files.
+
+ownCloud Documents with Word Conversion
+-------------------------------
+
+You can convert Word documents on the fly: open them in ownCloud for 
+editing, and live editing with other users, and when you close it reverts 
+to its original Word format with all of your changes embedded. 
+
+
+Mobile Web Browser Support
+---------------
+
+ownCloud 7 is friendly to small screens, and can be used on most tablet and 
+mobile browsers without requiring the use of a native mobile app. This provides 
+support for devices that don't have a native app, like Microsoft and 
+Blackberry.
+
+Lazy Loading Files
+------------------
+
+Viewing your Files page is faster now thanks to "lazy loading", which loads 
+files as you scroll down the page instead of loading all of them when you open 
+the page.
+
+Object Stores as Primary Storage
+---------------------------
+
+ownCloud can now leverage SWIFT object stores as primary storage for ownCloud 
+files. Users can choose the best option for their specific needs: local 
+storage, 
+network filesystem mounts, or SWIFT object stores.
