On the host side, create a normal share on the folder you'll be using as the owncloud data folder (right click, properties, Sharing tab, Share.) and give full permissions to the user account you created.This will be used later when we mount it to Linux. On the host side (in my case, Windows 8.1 Windows 10) create a local user account dedicated for owning the share.This may require you to power off the VM and delete the pass through. Remove any VMware Workstation-based pass through you have configured for the NTFS drive.This is not recommended for a multi-user, production configuration. I should preface this section: this setup works for me and my needs, which is a single-user personal setup. I would see an error similar to the one below: Smaller VMs means more internal space on my host machine!Īt first I thought I could simply "pass through" my drive to the VM for hosting my personal cloud, similar to how I configured my Plex Server. Unfortunately the system was having trouble recognizing the pass-through (even though file syncing actually worked when manually copying files to the share. The reason I wanted to go this route with my configuration is because I can have a small (~20GB) Ubuntu Server utilizing a larger external drive that can be easily read by both my Linux Server, as well as my Windows host machine. you will have major performance issues if you use SQLite)

I won't be going over how to setup OwnCloud server in Ubuntu - if you're interested in that, here's a great guide by our friends over at Noobs Lab (I highly recommend using MySQL or any other database solution over the included SQLite. It uses a USB 3.0 2TB drive formatted as NTFS and it works pretty darn well.
My setupI'm running OwnCloud 8 server in a Linux Mint VM (VMware Workstation) for personal use. Trying to use NTFS with your OwnCloud server? You may be running into some challenges.
