The files and folders that you add to Nextcloud are by default stored in the following directory: `/var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_nextcloud_data/_data/` on the host. If needed, you can modify/add/delete files/folders there but **ATTENTION**: be very careful when doing so because you might corrupt your AIO installation! Best is to create a backup using the built-in backup solution before editing/changing files/folders in there because you will then be able to restore your instance to the backed up state.

### How to store the files/installation on a separate drive?
You can move the whole docker library and all its files including all Nextcloud AIO files and folders to a separate drive by first mounting the drive in the host OS (NTFS is not supported) and then following this tutorial: https://www.guguweb.com/2019/02/07/how-to-move-docker-data-directory-to-another-location-on-ubuntu/<br>
(Of course docker needs to be installed first for this to work.)
