Problem with Permissions in NextCloud with Local External Storage

[Franky]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been struggling with a problem for the past two weeks and need help. I have Nextcloud set up with the External Storage app to share a Local Dataset. Here’s the issue:

• Current Situation: I can see the folders within the dataset and create, modify, and upload new files through Nextcloud.
• Problem: I am unable to access files or folders that were created within the dataset prior to the Nextcloud installation.

Any help would be would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
