Using Nextcloud in the OrangeQS Juice Environment

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.
