[Feature] Option to add external storage disks.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In Nextcloud there is an app to mount external storage for users, like samba shares, sftp, and local mounts, apart from the data directory.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option in the admin settings to add additional storage just for local mounts, for docker, add an environment variable to specify a directory where the local mounted disk reside and mount it in the container like Nextcloud-AIO does.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Just mount the disks as volumes and set it on Opencloud.
Additional context
Would it be possible to mount multiple external storage folders like this or is it limited to just a single one? And would this also enable „mounting“ additional S3 buckets as well?
What does Unqualified in the Roadmap means?
I think this feature will have a high impact because if I were to manually add a bunch of files into one of the spaces of user's folder via the filesystem, it does not reflect in the UI

In the docs, we explain collaborative posixfs. This may help you.
https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/configuration/storage/storage-posix/ I can't understand how to determine if i'm currently collaborative or non-collaborative... and how to set it to collaborative?
This is the config https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/configuration/storage/storage-posix/#configuration-1
Ok, I'm quite overwhelmed by the use of different words to describe the same thing.
Basically it is just getting the software to watch the file system, e.g. STORAGE_USERS_POSIX_WATCH_FS
But the documentation went on to use really big words like collaborative and assimilation which makes everything so much harder to understand
