Set partition for my stored files

🚧 Installation
1

I created a Nextcloud (20.0.7) with nginx, MariaDB, php, Redis en Fail2ban on Ubuntu 20.04.1 Server.
My computer has a 4 TiB HDD. When setting up Ubuntu I used the entire disk for Ubuntu.
I also connected Dropbox to my server and want to copy the files from Dropbox to Nextcloud.

While Dropbox is syncing the files to my hard drive, the computer tells me after a while when I reboot the server:
=> / is using 94.3% of 195.86GB

Why is my computer not using the large partition of 4 TiB for my files?
How can I set the partition where my files should saved?

Best regards,
Marianne

Please show the console output of: df -h

What type of Nextcloud installation is this? (manual, snap, docker, etc.)

And what is the location of your Nextcloud data folder?

I don’t know why I don’t see my large disk of 4 TB:

I am setting up Nextcloud manual

My Nextcloud data folder should be /var/nextcloud_data.
I am starting with an empty HDD and first I have to install Ubuntu Server 20.04.1. May be I don’t have to use the entire disk, but partition it. Which partitions are the best for me?

Best regards,
Marianne
