Automate external storage creation

🏷️ General
1

Hello!
Is there a method to manipulate the “external storage” definitions (creation, deletion) without the use of NextCloud control panel ?

I’d like to automate that task due the big amount of external storage (all are network folders shared with external collaborators) to be created/deleted weekly. :neutral_face:

ALex.
