No OneDrive as external storage visible
You might have found the doc which explains how to add OneDrive as external storage. Welcome to ownCloud, this feature is enterprise only…
Files added via CLI are not visible
This is NOT recommended…
The data directory on the server is exclusive to ownCloud and must not be modified manually.
Easiest solution is to add a “local external storage”. BUT… this option has been disabled because of security…
Here is how to fix:
Add this to “/var/www/owncloud/config/config.php”
'files_external_allow_create_new_local' => true,
Follow this doc to add this “safely”:
ownCloud - External Local Storage
