**What type of hardware are you using** : VPS bought online **What YunoHost version are you running** : 12.0.12 **How are you able to access your server** : SSH **Are you in a special context or did you perform specific tweaking on your YunoHost instance ?** : No ### Describe your issue I have rented a VPS at Hetzner and have installed YunoHost on it, and within YunoHost I have installed an instance of Nextcloud. The capacity of the server is only 40GB so I wish to add some storage. For that I have rented a 1TB Storage Box at Hetzner. Now I want to mount the Storage Box to the Nextcloud instance, so that all user data is stored there. I have managed to mount the Storage Box to the Nextcloud data directory by using SFTP but I am struggling to mount it permanently. As I understand, I have to add some commands to fstab. How can I figure out which command, and where can I finde the necessary information? ### Share relevant logs or error messages Not relevant ---

Hetzner provides some documentation about mounting a Storage Box > **[Access with SAMBA/CIFS - Hetzner Docs](https://docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/access/access-samba-cifs/)** Can you take a look on it and ask some questions here if you need help ? ---

Hi genma. Thanks for your reply. That document does not tell how to mount over SFTP. It does tell how to mount over samba/cifs, but I believe Hetzner recommends SFTP. ---
