Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu Server 20.04

PHP version (eg, 7.4): 7.4.3
The issue you are facing:
I installed Nextcloud using the nextcloud_install_production.sh script on to a rather small NVMe SSD of just 16GB. I now wish to expand this space with a 4TB USB hard drive so that I can sync files and folders without the risk of very quickly running out of space.
What is the process for doing this? Is the process easily repeatable should I wish to further expand storage again in the future?
This is what lsblk -f looks like on my system:

I suppose what I am aiming for is for /sdc1 to be used for Nextcloud data. I don’t know how to achieve this, whether I need to merge the filesystems or if Nextcloud can automatically roll over to the other disk, or if I simply need to reconfigure a config item somewhere to point to that disk.
The output of your config.php file in /path/to/nextcloud (make sure you remove any identifiable information!): I don’t know what my path to nextcloud is unfortunately.
