 First, find your data folder
-  find / -name config.php 2>/dev/null | while read line ; do cat "$line" | grep " 'datadirectory'" ; done
+<code>
-Now //**cd**// to the folder
+find / -name config.php 2>/dev/null | while read line ; do cat "$line" | grep " 'datadirectory'" ; done
-  cd /var/www/owncloud/data
+</code>
+Now //**cd**//  to the folder
+OwnCloud:
+<code>
+cd /var/www/owncloud/data
+</code>
+NextCloud:
+<code>
+cd /mnt/ncdata
+</code>
 Check the folder content
-  ls -all
+<code>
-Find the users folder and create a new folder within or move/copy files here
+ls -all
-  md testfolder
+</code>
+Find the users folder (cd again to it) find the files folder (cd again to it) and create a new folder within or move/copy files here
+<code>
+mkdir testfolder
+</code>
+Moving a file/folder (or creating a new folder) into ownCloud's data directory doesn't add it to the database automatically. Now you should use a CLI tool called occ that can manually add missing files and folders to the ownCloud database. So, check where th e utility is located:
+<code>
+find / -name "occ" 2>/dev/null
+</code>
+Change to folder in which occ was discovered:
+OwnCloud:
+<code>
+cd /var/www/owncloud
+</code>
+NextCloud:
+<code>
+cd /var/www/nextcloud
+</code>
+…and start occ to scan users folder
+<code>
+sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all
+</code>
+this is how the output should look like
+<code>
+root@owncloud:/var/www/owncloud# sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all
+Scanning files for 6 users
+Starting scan for user 1 out of 6 (admin)
+Starting scan for user 2 out of 6 (xxxxx1)
+Starting scan for user 3 out of 6 (yyyyy2)
+Starting scan for user 4 out of 6 (zzzzz3)
+Starting scan for user 5 out of 6 (aaaaa4)
+Starting scan for user 6 out of 6 (bbbbb5)
