Question:
How can I debug this issue in order to identify the root cause?

Hi!

I have the exact same problem.

In my case, the external storage is an Nextcloud as well, and I can access it via WebDAV from Ubuntu Nautilus without problems.

The Nextcloud in which I want to add the external storage only shows a red circle with exclamation mark in the settings, without writing anything into the error log.

(In case anyone asks: Connecting via Nextcloud-Login works. But I want to add the external Nextcloud via WebDAV and not via Nextcloud, since I want the data on the external Nextcloud to be encrypted.)

Anyone having an idea? Thanks!

I have the same problem :frowning:
