Nextcloud in the Juice environment uses a WebDAV‑based storage model. This means files in Nextcloud’s internal storage must not be edited directly via the Linux terminal or file browser—changes made that way will not be detected by Nextcloud.
Correct Setup
To safely access files from both Nextcloud and the Linux environment:
-
Store files on a mounted drive
-
Expose that drive in Nextcloud using the External Storage app
Why This Matters
With this setup:
-
Files can be edited via the Linux terminal or scripts
-
Files remain visible and editable in Nextcloud
-
All changes are correctly detected and synced
Key Rule
Do not edit files directly in Nextcloud’s internal data directory.
Always use a mounted drive + External Storage.
