It would be nice to have the possibility to attach external storages inside a subfolder.
Now this is only possible:
/foo - storage 1
/bar - storage 2
…
I need:
/bla/foo - storage 1
/bla/bar - storage 2
…

This is already possible. Just name them as you’ve done here and it will work.
The picture is the config in nextcloud… but I dont see the /_TO_CHECK dir in files
What I’m doing wrong?
Is the root storage of the testuser writeable?
root@lucypher:~# ll /volume7/web/nextcloud/data/
total 37788
…
drwxr-x— 1 http http 76 Apr 16 08:35 testuser

you see all relevant dirs are readable/writeable for http user what nextcloud uses…
Looks good to me.
What happens if you add a folder that is called /_TO_CHECK to the testuser? Does the external storage then become visible in the subdirectory?

this is working now! THX a lot! 
But it would be nice if nextcloud could add the dir automaticly… I’ve only some users, thats not a problem but if you have 1000 etc then its a little bit complicated (ok bash and 0…1000 does it but…)
You can simply create an additional external storage that is called like this and read only and mount it to anyone that shall get access…
hmm that doesnt work… I’ve defined a “dummy” storage _TO_CHECK and configured the true storages inside it
_TO_CHECK/storage_1
_TO_CHECK/storage_2
…
in files section on nextcloud I can see /_TO_CHECK but it is empty…
did you assign the correct users?
ah it works! I have “_TO_CHECK” in the folder settings forgotten
