Nextcloud (docker) local External Storage with Spaces in name

ℹ️ Support
1

Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 19.0.3
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu 19.04 with Docker
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25):
PHP version (eg, 7.1):

The issue you are facing:
I have added a volume to my docker container with access to most of my shared folders. Then I add them as an external storage (local) to nextcloud. This seem to be working much better than my first attempt which added the same folders to my current user.

But I now have a folder which includes a space.
I’ve tried adding the local folder of:
/serverfolders/Recorded TV
/serverfolders/Recorded\ TV
‘/serverfolders/Recorded TV’
“/serverfolders/Recorded TV”
/serverfolders/‘Recorded TV’

None of them are accepted. Is there a way I can add this folder? I can’t really rename it as its used by other things.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N):

Hi, I just set it up. Stumbled upon your question because I had the same issue, but this seems to work.

External Storage type: SFTP

host: <localIPAddress>
root: plexmedia/Plex Video Media //This is directly copied out of the textbox.

Perhaps you just need to omit the first “/” to get it working.
