hello @hirschnase and welcome to the nextcloud-community forum. I remember that someone had a similar problem the other day (you should have searched the forum for similar problems first, dear) > [@Unable to share External Storage](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/unable-to-share-external-storage/241755/3): > > Yeah, it’s a bug. See below - sharing enabled Yet the UI says sharing is OFF backend says it’s ON COPYING apps config cron.php dist lib ocs package.json resources themes root@47ceae2d9221:/var/www/html# php occ files\_external:list +----------+------------------+---------+---------------------+----------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------… it seems to be a bug which is now handled over there on dev-level over there at github. Nothing we can do about it over here rather than waiting for a new version. --- _[View the full topic](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/external-file-sharing-does-not-work-anymore-after-update-from-v31-to-v33/242049)._
