Nextcloud user folder

[G8One2]

Anyone know if its possible to drop files etc, in user folders without using the NextCloud interface. I've tried to add files to my user folder, through windows file browser. The files are there but when you try to view them on the website, the files i just added to the users document folder doesnt show. I tried restarting the jail, even rebooting the whole server. Any file i copy and paste into user document, or even photo folders, isnt visible through the website. I was hoping i could do this because i have family members who have seperate folders they access through .ssh, and i would like to migrate all their data to the user folders of nextcloud by cut / pasting. Anyone have an ideas why this doesnt work and or how i can accomplish this?

Because the nextcloud database doesn't know the files exist. You'll have to use the interface or an app if you want to see your files.

You need to rebuild the nextcloud db. Something like this is a start:
iocage console nextcloud cd /usr/local/www/nextcloud/ sudo -u www php occ files:scan --all
