Move date folder to external hard disk

Support intro

Good morning everyone, I’m new in nextcloud and I’m having some trouble managing the storage space. I have followed many tutorials hoping to fix the problem but it does not work. I would like to move my data folder to an external hard disk in order to have more storage space. I’m using a Raspberry pi 3B and I can’t figure out how to do it, some install it directly on the hard disk and it works, others move it later. In any case none of these systems works, can anyone help me?
