The issue you are facing:

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y):

Steps to replicate it:
create an external local storage as admin

www-data@cloud:~/xxx.nc$ php occ files_external:list
+----------+-------------+---------+---------------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------+------------------+-------------------+
| Mount ID | Mount Point | Storage | Authentication Type | Configuration              | Options                              | Applicable Users | Applicable Groups |
+----------+-------------+---------+---------------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------+------------------+-------------------+
| 1        | /Music      | Local   | None                | datadir: "\/mnt\/music\/"  | enable_sharing: true, readonly: true | All              |                   |
| 2        | /Photos     | Local   | None                | datadir: "\/mnt\/photos\/" | enable_sharing: true, readonly: true | All              |                   |

When I try to use the directories in the Web interface as admin or user I get the same problem as in External Storage not there and

What is to do to make this storage visible ?

Thanks a lot for listening

No real idea. Are owner and rights in /mnt/music and /mnt/photos like your nextcloud in /var/www/nextcloud ?

Test:
ls -l /mnt
look at music and photos
ls -l /var/www/html
look at nextcloud

Correct is on debian based systems:
www-data:www-data

Look also at the rights (rwx) for user, group and all.

Thanks a lot. It was indeed a problem of reading rights for www-data.
