How to expand Nextcloud storage space with volumes?

Posted on October 27, 2020

I am running Nextcloud 19.04 on a Ubuntu 20.04 Droplet. I have enabled the external storage app after adding a Volume, but I don’t see it. It should have been automatically configured and mounted, but it’s not showing up. Is there anything else I need to do?

Hi there @dangilleran7,

In order to check if your volume has been mounted, you can SSH to your Droplet and run the following command:

df -h

If you do not see the new volume, you can manually mount it as described here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby

Heya,

I believe you would also need to add the storage via the NextCloud administration panel. You can refer to their knowledge base for additional details:
