Ubuntu 16.04+nexcloud 11- data folder USB disk?

[tflidd]

What file system?
If it’s only used for Nextcloud, I would personally choose a Linux file system. It’s better supported and more stable.

If you use NTFS:

You don't have permissions to upload or create files here - local (external ntfs-3g storage)

Managed to solve the problem past the recommendations made by tflidd and I am typing the solution here to probably serve others who may run into this problem. fstab #Windows-Partition UUID=537FEF451930795B /media/win ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=33,uid=33 0 0 Reboot sudo reboot Force NextCloud to rescan files cd /var/www/nextcloud sudo -u www-data php console.php files:scan --all And your ntfs local external storage is back in business.
