oh sorry … its in the media folder and it is this

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 25 00:06 media

That looks good. What kind of file system is used on your additional disks? If it is NTFS you have to set the permissions during the mount process in the /etc/fstab file:

You don't have permissions to upload or create files here - local (external ntfs-3g storage)

Managed to solve the problem past the recommendations made by tflidd and I am typing the solution here to probably serve others who may run into this problem. fstab #Windows-Partition UUID=537FEF451930795B /media/win ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=33,uid=33 0 0 Reboot sudo reboot Force NextCloud to rescan files cd /var/www/nextcloud sudo -u www-data php console.php files:scan --all And your ntfs local external storage is back in business.

On Linux file systems, you mount them and can set the permissions as usual.
