Hello, Is there a way to: - show Nextcloud data folder on UGOS PRO or - mount an external folder to Nextloud

Good questions! Your Nextcloud files already sit in a real folder on your NAS, not hidden away in a container — open UGOS's File Manager and look inside your SparkBox data folder (whichever one you picked during setup), you'll find a "cloud" subfolder with everything in it. Mounting an outside folder into Nextcloud itself isn't something SparkBox has a setting for right now, though — Nextcloud only sees that one folder we connect it to. Logged the mount idea as a feature suggestion for Tom to consider.

Ah, that's a known UGOS quirk, not something broken on your end — SparkBox creates the data folder as a plain directory rather than registering it as a UGOS "Shared Folder," so UGOS's own Files app doesn't index it, even though it's really there and Nextcloud sees it fine. Easiest way to browse it directly is the File Browser app built into SparkBox's own dashboard. Already logged as something to improve for a future update.
