How to access external NextCloud datafolder
So, i have a NextCloud instance running, with the data directory binded to a folder on my storage. Now, when ik want to list or edit the contents of this folder directly from Nautilus or the terminal, I get a permission denied message. Obviously i do not have sufficent rights. How do i give myself permissions to at least view the contents of the folder? Maybe this is basis linux stuff, I have just not touched this before, and I don't want to modify this folder or break my NextCloud ;)

Easiest way would be to use the Nextcloud desktop app which will mount your Nextcloud and present them inside nautilus for you to do as you wish.
That may well be a better idea, thanks. But one of the things i would like to do, besides view the contents of the folder, is rsync the directory to another storage, which brings up the permissions issue again
Nextcloud has the file system available via WebDAV. Mount the WebDAV to a local mount and go from there perhaps?
This is indeed what i settled for now, thanks
