Hi,

I use NextCloud with a raspberry Pi 3 and my wife and me using NextCloud to save our data. The datadirectory is a 64GB USB-stick. But I like to use one stick for my files an other one for my wife’s files. Is that possible?

Regards
Gerd

You can only have one data folder. You could with external storage, … or you mount your wife’s stick to /path/to/nextcloud/data/wife and your stick to /path/to/nextcloud/data/you. It might give strange results when a stick is unmounted or breaks. Normally you have the whole data folder on a partition, then if it is unmounted, the system will detect it.

If you buy 2 more USB sticks you could add them as external storage.
