Hi. I have just set up NextCloud by the FreeNAS plugin and I have set up external storage. (And this is the first time I use NextCloud) The external storage is named **“nextcloud\_data”** and inside it has a folder named **"Picture Sharing**". It also has a folder named **"Private"** **This is my groups:** - admin - friends **this is my users:** - user1 (member of friends, admin) - user2 (member of friends) - user3 (member of friends) - user4 (member of friends) This is what I want to acheve: - I want the **/nextcloud\_data/Private/** folder to just be accessible by users in the admin group - I want all users to have access to create folders (with files) inside the **/nextcloud\_data/Picture Sharing/** folder, but not delete anything (at least not other’s uploads). - When users upload to **/nextcloud\_data/Picture Sharing/** I want them to be able to set read permissions to just who they want. This can be _**user1(user)**_ and _**user2(user)**_. Or it can be _**friends(group)**_. Can anyone point me on how to do this? It should be like a picture sharing service between friends. ---

> [@flemmingss](#): > > want the **/nextcloud\_data/Private/** folder to just be accessible by users in the admin group Not a good idea. In this structure are usernames and to data-dirs. You can perhaps use external data (function local) but that make no sense. You can better share data as user admin (dir nextcloud\_data/admin/files/Private) to group “admin”. or use a group folder (dir nextcloud\_data/\_\_groupfolders/1) But you must copy it over Nextcloud or perhaps with recan. > [@flemmingss](#): > > I want all users to have access to create folders (with files) inside the **/nextcloud\_data/Picture Sharing/** folder, but not delete anything (at least not other’s uploads). Share with group and set the correct rights. Could be possible. > [@flemmingss](#): > > When users upload to **/nextcloud\_data/Picture Sharing/** I want them to be able to set read permissions to just who they want. > This can be _**user1(user)**_ and _**user2(user)**_ . Or it can be _**friends(group)**_ . A file sharing plattform like Nextcloud is desigend that users use their own directorys and rights. A global directory is not a good idea. ---

Is there any way I can make the users own directory’s be stored in my external\_storage? ---

I think only if the nextcloud-dir ist on the external storage. ---
