Hi.
I have a working NextcloudPi and a USB-drive for data. I have a second USB-drive sormatted using webb-gui btrfs for backups. It works to write backups using webb-gui.

When mounting the drive /media/usbdisk/ as local external storage i can see everything but not write files or do anything else, its writeprotected. Says You dont have permission…

How do I make it writeble? I need to make my data larger by using a second data-usb-disk so that is the same problem.

ThanX

Hi !

For Nextcloud or for the user : pi ?

For Nextcloud try : sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /media/usbdisk/

3

I want to write files to it inside nextcloud as User logged into website.

4

And even after that : sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /media/usbdisk/ it doesn’t work ?

5

Do you mean you want the owner of the files to be same user as logged in to Nextcloud?

6

Have run the command in putty and no Changes. Did not work.

Yes. I want to save files to the drive when logged into nextcloud. I want to expand space with one extra usb-drive.

Try running nc-fix-permissions and nc-scan

I have run nc-fix and nc-permission. Did not help.
