+Using the Files Locking App
+---------------------------
+
+The Files Locking application enables ownCloud to lock files while reading or 
+writing to and from backend storage. The purpose of the app is to avoid file 
+corruption during normal operation. Operating at a very low level in ownCloud, 
+this application requests and respects file system locks. For example, when 
+ownCloud is writing an uploaded file to the server, ownCloud requests a write 
+lock. If the underlying storage supports locking, ownCloud will request and 
+maintain an exclusive write lock for the duration of this write operation. When 
+completed, ownCloud will then release the lock through the filesystem. If the 
+file system does not support locking, there is no need to enable this 
+application as any lock requested by ownCloud will not be honored in the 
+underlying filesystem.
+
+The Files Locking app has no configuration options; all you need to do is 
+enable or disable it on your Apps page.
