Noit possible to delete files from "local external storage"

Hello,

I have added an external storage as admin in my Nextcloud - so every user can access it. It’s just another file location (/media/…/) which is not in the nextcloud data folder (and also cannot move to it).
The configuration ist “local” and it is not read-only. But it’s not possible for any user to delete files. There is just no option in Nextcloud to delete a file.

The files can opened, downloaded, shared … but not deleted.

Where do I have to check what’s wrong?

Thanks and regards

Hi @exaveal

My guess would be wrong permissions on /media/…/. Check if the user of the webserver has write access to this folder…

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage/local.html

Thanks so easy. Ich wasn’t expecting that Nextcloud does not offer “delete” if the user of nextcloud does not have the file permissions. Thanks!
