Greetings,

After installation with the optimized software manager, File Browser only shows this :

The second folder is my Samba smb share I’ve made.

However, when i open it i want to see this :

I’m root inside this File Browser thing:

How can i get the rest of the folders?

Thank you

P.S. I think got it. This is the default data dir:

But i want “/” as data dir. How can i change it ?  
When i type “filebrowser” in the terminal it says

```auto
-bash: filebrowser: command not found

```

Thank you again

```auto
systemctl stop filebrowser.service
/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser config set -r / -d /mnt/dietpi_userdata/filebrowser/filebrowser.db
systemctl start filebrowser.service

```

After `-r` you can specify a path, in your case `/`
