Ty for your feedback.
I know the path to the folder and can access it -
but the sub- folder “mine” is not visible in the command-prompt on dietpi.
It might be a user - permission problem? - user root \<----\> admin
Yes, the user is admin

Hmm this is odd. Root should see everything and in my case, I can `cd` into my created folders and I also can access them via samba.
Is this a folder inside the default `documents` folder, which was created automatically after the installation?

“documents” was there.
I created the subfolder “mine” via Windows.
Nextcloudpi is accessible on Windows via Explorer (since i installed the nextcloud-app)
Trying to create a subfolder on dietpi…
maybe that helps.
Edit: That didn´t help

Are we talking about same folder? Because you are running NextcloudPi. This is a different app than our Nextcloud install and hence uses different directories.

Im not sure if I understand your problem, but when you create files and folders outside from the webUI or the nextcloud Apps (e.g. with `mkdir` via CLI), you need to reindex your files so they get added to the database.
`sudo ncc files:scan --all`

I found out, that even the standard “Documents” folder can´t be used in aria2.
“Documents” is visible and accessible in Dietpi.
I guess its a permission problem

```auto
sudo ncc files:scan --all
```
gives me:
```auto
sudo: ncc: Befehl nicht gefunden
```
means “command not found” in german
but it worked without “sudo”

that worked -
subfolder “mine” (created on windows) still not visible
“maga” (created with mkdir in dietpi) is now visible in the Android app, but not on windows - that seems to work a bit
the main problem, in my opinion, is that aria2 (from the webui via http) cant access the Nextcloud - folders on dietpi

I think you need to add the user, which runs aria2, to the `www-data` group, since www-data has read/write/execute permissions for this folders.
```auto
sudo usermod -a -G www-data
```
The fact that you don’t see some folders sounds like a sync issue.

since i dont know the user of the webui-login (no user is set - just the root password),
i added the user “root” as username in the connection-settings of aria2 in the webinterface.
Downloads are possible, but into the `/mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads` directory.
not into:
```auto
/mnt/dietpi_userdata/nextcloud_data/admin/files/Documents/
```
I ll try a workaround.
TY for your help that late on time.

You can see the user which runs a process in `htop`.
The username for aria2 is `aria2` 😅
And don’t forget: If you add files to your nextcloud folders this way you have to rescan them every time to integrate the new files into the nextcloud database, otherwise they are not visible in the nextcloud Apps/ webUI etc.

I did a bit of testing, I added aria2 to www-data, and changed the download location to my nextcloud folder, but I also get the error ` could not create new file or truncate existing file`.

ty mate.
Since the userdate created in nextcloud for Windows was not visible to either Dietpi/ Android/ Apple i uninstalled the app.
Now i am trying to establish an smb connection from windows to the Dietpi - filesystem.
I did this earlier, when i was just running nextcloudpi - without dietpie.
The trouble with aria2 \<----\> nextcloud surely is unsolved

Another hint for SMB: Install `avahi-daemon`, otherwise your share is not visible in your network overview in windows and you have to type in manually the IP / hostname 🙂

First get clear on file system NextcloudPi is using. As NCPi is a different app than the original NC, it might use different file system. Next, it is not recommended to add files outside NC to NC file system. At least this I found on NC forum.
At the end it will be file system permission you need to manage. Don’t mix the user inside app with the user used on OS level.

For this you simply could install [WSDD](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/discussions/5244)
