<p>Local storages provide access to any directory on the Nextcloud server. Since
this is a significant security risk, Local storage can only be configured in
the Nextcloud admin settings. Non-admin users cannot create Local storage
mounts.</p>
<p>Use this to mount any directory on your Nextcloud server that is outside
of your Nextcloud <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data/</span></code> directory. This directory must be readable and
writable by your HTTP server user. These ownership and permission examples
are on Ubuntu Linux:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">sudo</span> <span class="n">chown</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">R</span> <span class="n">www</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">data</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">www</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">data</span> <span class="o">/</span><span class="n">path</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">to</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">localdir</span>

<p>In the <strong>Folder name</strong> field enter the folder name that you want to appear on
your Nextcloud Files page.</p>
<p>In the <strong>Configuration</strong> field enter the full filepath of the directory you
want to mount.</p>
<p>In the <strong>Available for</strong> field enter the users or groups who have permission to
access the mount. By default all users have access.</p>
