I need some help configuring an external storage. I have a samba share that I share with my family so that everyone can access the same folder. I also want to access it via nextcloud so I configured it as an external SFTP storage (because smbclient is not available in the docker container). The problem now is that files uploaded by one user have permission (like the actual file permissions on the harddrive) that make it read only for other users.
Is there a way to set default file permissions for files uploaded via the external storage app? In my case I would like to set the permissions to 775 and change the group to “family”.
Cheers and thanks for the help
