Description

I don't know whether this is an issue in the workflow engine itself or in this particular workflow but I'm unable to run scripts on files stored on a SMB/CIFS network storage connected using the external storage option of NC (31.0.3).

None of the file paths passed to the script is available when the cron job is run.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the cron job with an SMB/CIFS external storage configured through the Nextcloud external storage option, then inspect which file paths are passed to the external script. Determine whether the missing paths originate in the workflow engine or the particular workflow; done means scripts receive usable paths for files on external storage.
