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 ;)

I hadn't thought of the database issue, thanks! I am afraid though that changing the ownership of the folder might break things though? Love the --reference option by the way
I would cd into the user folder that you want to add / remove files from and see what the ownership is to begin with and simply replicate ownership to match what's already there.
I went with the suggested mount as webdav, and this works out fine for me, thanks
