You need to share the files and/or folders with those you wish to also access it.

I might suggest you create a group folder for the share, then it isn’t limited by user quotas, rather than sharing one of your folders with them.

Hello @Kostas_Fidantsis.
Last year I have installed my own NC and for share photos with my wife and my sons I decided to create a family user beside other users.
In that way, other single user can have his/her “private” photos.

ok i have installed ubuntu server on another pc with 128gb nvme for system and 2tb hdd for data
i am now realise that my nextcloud folder is over 120gb and i can’t move it to the system disk
can you think of any solution to redirect the folder to the 2nd drive or i have to start again after i buy a bigger nvme for system?
In config/config.php you can find:
'datadirectory' => '/path/to/data', (on 128gb)
You can copy or rsync all data to
/path/to/data2 (on 2tb hdd)
Set all files to www-data:ww-data the webserver/Nextcloud-user/group:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/data2
Then you must change the setting in config/config.php
'datadirectory' => '/path/to/data2',
After that you must re-scan all files:
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all

Ok i have to do this on my previous computer and then when i add the nextcloud folder to the new pc is this steel gonna work?
Edit
I have connected the old drive to this new pc and i am moving now the data folder to the 2tb hdd
After that i will copy the rest of the nextcloud folder to the new pc www/html folder
I have not fully understand the second step
( Set all files to www-data:ww-data the webserver/Nextcloud-user/group:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/data2)
Then i have to backup and restore the database to the new hdd because i forget to do that first and modify the config file
Then i have to run this command?
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all
I don’t think i will make it but i will try
Edit again
Is it posible now that i have the old drive connected to the new pc as second drive to somehow take the database and copy to the new system disk or i have to boot with the old pc and do that with the old system booted?
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/data2
where you mount your new 2Tb disk in this example “/path/to/data2” you need to make sure the user and group permissions are set to the user www-data. With above command this is done but adjust the path to your own.
It is best to start up the old computer again and get a valid SQL backup. Copying this over disk 2 disk is not advised.
This is the command that will check if any files that are there (or not there) are (not) in the database or visa versa

Your data directory is invalid. Ensure there is a file called “.ocdata” in the root of the data directory
