[closed]Mounting external drive into user data (self.nextcloud)

I currently have a drive mounted into a folder in nextcloud/data/username/files/media but it doesn't show the contents of the drive the nextcloud gui.

EDIT: The solution is the "External storage support" app, which ist for some reason disabled by default.

Maybe try symlinking it? But I don't know if nextcloud likes that 🤔

AFAIK Nextcloud doesn't support them. I already tried.

Check the permissions on that directory

The drive is mounted as www-data, but the contents have different owners, which I cannot change due to the drive being mounted in multiple places.
