don’t understand the problem
maybe you can share the permissions you have set for these folder
ls -la /mnt/dietpi_userdata/volumes/data

how do i change permission then
drwxrwxr-x 10 dietpi dietpi 4096 Jul 22 14:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 3 16:38 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 dietpi dietpi 4096 Jul 22 16:41 Music
drwxrwxr-x 3 dietpi dietpi 4096 Jul 22 16:41 Pictures
drwxrwxr-x 2 dietpi dietpi 4096 Jul 22 16:41 Video
-rwxrwxr-x 1 filebrowser dietpi 2975 Jul 22 14:08 docker-compose.yml
drwx--x--- 13 root root 4096 Jul 22 14:45 docker-data
drwxrwxr-x 3 dietpi dietpi 4096 Jul 22 16:41 downloads
drwxr-xr-x 2 filebrowser root 4096 Jul 22 07:00 filebrowser
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 22 12:48 filebrowser_docker
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jul 22 14:37 volumes
here is the terminal after pasting ls -la /mnt/dietpi_userdata/
As you can see, folder volumes is owned by root user and root is the only one who could write on it. Not sure what else is located on the directory but you could change everything to be owned by user filebrowser. This way, filebrowser would be able to write on it.
chown filebrowser:filebrowser -R /mnt/dietpi_userdata/volumes/
Hello, I also have that problem. I cannot do anything because 403 permission error. I don’t want to change permissions for my folders because other apps use that. OK, I fix that.
Second is how to add other folders like /home/dietpi/ because Filebrowser shows only /mnt?

You need to add the user which runs filebrowser to the group who owns the folder, you don’t have to change your permissions.
You can add folders via the webUI, but again you have to make sure that the user, which runs filebrowser has write access for this location.
Best to my knowledge you can specify a single root folder only. That’s where File Browser will start. To see all folders, you might need to change configuration to root folder / as starting point.
/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser config set -r /
Hi that don’t help

What did not helped? File Browser should start on root level now.
No it’s still the same folders from /mnt. Do I have to login as root? Because I login with dietpi and global password.

Did you restart the service after the changes were made?
Yes, You can see that im previous post.
I login as user root and following is working for me
cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/filebrowser
systemctl stop filebrowser.service
/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser config set -r /
systemctl restart filebrowser.service
