There is another way to get external hard drive files into ownCloud.
That is using the ownCloud's data plugin.

1) Install two packages on the command line:

  $ sudo apt-get install php-dropbox php-google-api-php-client

(The necessity to do this is a bug and will be fixed soon in FreedomBox
or ownCloud Debian package.)

2) Goto ownCloud Apps section and enable 'External Storage Support' plugin.

3) Goto 'Admin' section and add your hard drive mount path in the
external storage section.  This will now show up in your folders list.
