"Abort" or "you don't have permission to upload or create files here" notifications

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect to 192.168.server.ip/owncloud
  2. Login as admin
  3. Drag and drop a file from my pc to the root folder, or try to create a new folder

Expected behaviour

The file should be uploaded or the folder should be created

Actual behaviour

  • If the file is over around 8Mb, a notification saying “abort” pops up
  • If the file is under around 8Mb, a progress bar fills up and when complete, a notification saying “You don’t have permission to upload or create files here”
  • If you tried to create a new folder, a notification saying “Unable to create folder ‘asdf’”

Insert your browser log here, this could for example include:

a) The javascript console log

Thanks in advance !

Hey,

i have seen the following in your log file:

{"reqId":"P24kefQbfuOBs2SqhnuM","level":3,"time":"2021-03-08T15:18:44+00:00","remoteAddr":"192.168.1.254","user":"admin","app":"no app in context","method":"GET","url":"\/owncloud\/ocs\/v2.php\/apps\/notifications\/api\/v1\/notifications?format=json","message":"User backend OC\\User\\Database is returning home: \/media\/pi\/external_drive\/owncloud_data\/data\/admin for user: admin which differs from existing value: \/media\/www\/pi\/external_drive\/owncloud_data\/data\/my_user\/files"}

Could it be possible that you have moved the data directory of ownCloud after the installation without following the documentation provided by the ownCloud people here:

https://doc.owncloud.com/server/admin_manual/maintenance/manually-moving-data-folders.html

Hi tom42, thanks for your reply.
I have indeed followed the “manually moving data folders” documentation to do this, but I messed up the step " Update the oc_accounts Table"
I have edited the oc_accounts table to match what the backend is expecting (/media/pi/external_drive/owncloud_data/data/admin)
and it works perfectly now, thanks a lot for your help you legend !
