Nextcloud does not scan or 'know' of new data dir

My YunoHost server

Hardware: VPS bought online
YunoHost version: 4.1.8
I have access to my server : Through SSH

Description of my issue

I changed the data dir for my nextcloud but cannot scan for new files, it says the dir for my user is not writable.
I tried executing it as www-data but that gives me the problem that config directory is not writable and/or that console has to be executed with user that owns config.php.

# sudo -u nextcloud php7.3 occ files:scan --all
Starting scan for user 1 out of 1 (xxx)
Home storage for user xxx not writable
Make sure you are running the scan command only as the user the web server runs as
+---------+-------+--------------+
| Folders | Files | Elapsed time |
+---------+-------+--------------+
| 0       | 0     | 00:00:00     |
+---------+-------+--------------+

But I did change the owner of the folder containing all data to nextcloud recursively:

drwxrwx---  7 nextcloud nextcloud  296 May  5 13:17 storagebox

And I have a .ocdata file there as well (which was a problem at first)

root@yh:/mnt# ls -lha storagebox/
total 216K
drwxrwx--- 7 nextcloud nextcloud  296 May  5 13:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 nextcloud nextcloud  296 May  5 13:16 appdata_ocni2ff5yrjd
drwxr-xr-x 5 nextcloud nextcloud  336 May  5 13:29 data
drwxr-xr-x 2 nextcloud nextcloud  104 May  5 12:55 files_external
drwx------ 2 root      root      5.7K May  5 13:22 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 3 nextcloud nextcloud  104 May  5 13:16 xxx
-rw-r--r-- 1 nextcloud nextcloud 207K May  5 13:17 nextcloud.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 nextcloud nextcloud    2 May  5 12:54 .ocdata

So what can be done to make nextcloud scan my files and acknowledge my new data dir?
