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. +
