Fstab and ownCloud headache

I have an ownCloud running smoothly on my nas4free and I wish to transfer all my current Dropbox data to it with a simple Fstab link but I'm a newbie in this whole thing and so I'm stuck.... My other Jail with Plex has Fstabs correctly set and it's all good but I just can't figure it out for the ownCloud.

How do I drill into my ownCloud private directory? In this case it's: /usr/local/www/owncloud/data/ach1/files/Dropbox where "ach1" is my user name.

My current Fstab guess is:

/mnt/Disk1/Andy/Dropbox /usr/local/www/owncloud/data/ach1/files/Dropbox nullfs rw 0 0 ... which doesn't work, of course.

"/mnt/Disk1/Andy/Dropbox" is the location with all my recent Dropbox data that I would like to access also at ../../ach1/files/Dropbox


Thank you in advance and forgive me if I wasn't clear enough about all.

2 things I see.
You dont have the full path to your owncloud data

Should be something like /mnt/Disk_where_jail_is/Jail/ownCloud/usr/local/www/owncloud/data/ach1/files/Dropbox nullfs ro 0 0

And after getting this correct, ownclouds database will not know anything about this data so you will still not see it in owncloud.

I am at this stage now and looking for a way to 'refresh' the owncloud database after adding a mount
