I am noob and I had a nightmare with this simple thing, so I’m just sharing how I solved this problem
It may sound so simple and stupid for advanced users but this is for noobs like me
I had some apps like Immich and Syncthing I wanted my ZimaOS device to access and I couldn’t
Why I couldn’t?
- It is simple, the directory the NVME and HDD had on the “files” app doesn’t match the real location of the storage device
What to do (STEPS)
-
Open terminal
SETTINGS > DEVELOPER > WEB TERMINAL -
PASTE THIS CODE
lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,UUID,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE
````3. Identify the Disk`
Ignore everything and identify the unit in may case you can see SDA (sata connection is 4tb) nvme via PCIE is 1.9 tb
-
MOUNTPOINT COLUMN OF THE LAST IMAGE
That is the real location of your storage unit -
SET THE STORAGE UNIT ACCES FOR YOUR APP
Open app configuration
-
SET THE REAL FILE LOCATION FOR THE APP
In Volumes you can see you have 2 columns, ok so the column on the left means the original location and the column of the right is the location that the app you are using will recognize
- RED - Set the directory you found on the terminal
- GREEN - The SHORTCUT that app will find
-
SAVE
-
ON THE APP
If the app asks you about a directory you have to put the - GREEN - Directory
if the green directory has a subdirectory you can access to it by for example /SYNC/SubdirectoryFolderName
