Local External Storage not working?

Thanks! I was looking for the admin/externalstorages page but really could not find it again, I thought it just disappeared and got replaced by the user/externalstorages after ‘enabling’ external storage!

I have went back to that page and added both my user account and the admin account in the “Available for” field. However, this did not solve the issue.

I have also chmod 777’ed the mount point for my HDDs which I am trying to use as external storage, and that does not work either. I can create files in the Ubuntu file system, but this is not reflected on Nextcloud.

  1. Could you please verify if this is the right way to point to a local storage folder?
    I have entered /mnt/lvm under the “Configuration” field since it says Location before I enter anything.

  2. I see this error message at the top:

"smbclient" is not installed. Mounting of "SMB / CIFS", "SMB / CIFS using OC login" is not possible. Please ask your system administrator to install it.

Is this relevant to the issues I’m having?
