That's it.

snap stop nextcloud
snap connect nextcloud:removable-media
nano /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/config/config.php    ('datadirectory' => '/mnt/efs/nextcloud/data',)
snap disable nextcloud

Trusted Domains

Security in NextCloud has been tightened and so to allow all of your local network to access the server, you have to edit the config file on the command line and add the network IP address or range...

nano docker/stacks/nextcloud/data/config/www/nextcloud/config/config.php

'trusted_domains' => 
  array (
    0 => '127.0.0.1:4443',
    1 => '192.168.0.*',
  ),
