Duda with Owncloud and shared folders in Debian

[robertoac]

Hello, my question is as follows:
How do I create folders so that they are reflected on the server and in owncloud in the browser? I have already created several folders from the owncloud app in the browser, but I would like to see them in the server path /backups/data/(folders)?

@robertoac Hello and welcome to the forum. I've moved your topic to the software subforum.

With ownCloud 8.x in hand, I can tell you that the data is stored in.../user/files/

This folder will be inside the folder you chose in the ownCloud installation wizard.

@cobito many thanks I'm on my way there regards

@cobito, note that I have already configured and located the folders on the server, but from the account www.dominio.com/owncloud I access and there I create the folders for the users, however, they are not reflected on the server. I am not sure if the procedure should be the other way around: create them on the server with what permissions? and they will be reflected in the domain administration

@robertoac When you talk about folders, I assume you mean the folders within ownCloud where users can save their files, right?

You should be able to create them both from the web client and from the system itself within the subfolder I mentioned earlier. The owner of the folder should be the one of the web server, which in the case of Apache is www-data:www-data if I remember correctly.

Hello @cobito you are right, I created the folder on the web and on the server, assigning the owner on the server chown -R www-data:www-data /ruta where my folders are and that's it, thank you very much and goodbye

It's strange. Try putting a file inside the folder you created. Do you see the files from the root folder?
