How did you add external folders to nextcloud? i cant get it to work (also on TrueNAS Scale)

[โ€“] Agentje_P@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I built it in a VM on my home PC to try it all out now

I made a truenas user 'nextcloud' with a password

Shared a folder over SMB and gave the user permission to it

Used the 'external storage' plugin in NextCloud to add the SMB share with the 'nextcloud' user and then gave the 'family' nextcloud group access to this folder

Where exactly are you getting stuck? Maybe I could give a more detailed explanation
