Allowlist_external_dirs:

Hey guys; has anyone seen this problem
I’ve been storing images (Camera captures, theme images, file integration) in subfolders inside www. This has been working fine but then I read these files were exposed directly to the internet. This isn’t something I want to do, so attempted to move these files into a dedicated folder.

Whatever I do, I’m unable to browse to any of the images in another chrome window in the new folder

This works
https://MYDUCKDNS:8123/local/doorbell-snapshots/camera.png

This does not
https://MYDUCKDNS:8123/config/bruce/camera.png

If I try Dev Tools / Actions and try to WRITE to one of those folders (For example using Camera Snapshot), I get the following error
Failed to perform the action camera.snapshot. Cannot write config/bruce/camera.png, no access to path; allowlist_external_dirs may need to be adjusted in configuration.yaml

The following code passes Dev Tools / YAML (In fact if I change the new lines to a folder that doesn’t exist) and run Dev Tools again it errors so I know the directories are correct

`homeassistant:
allowlist_external_dirs:
- “www/doorbell-snapshots”
- “/config/bruce”

Guys, found the solution on a YouTube video comments
If anyone else comes across this, remove the “xxxx”

homeassistant:
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - /config/bruce
    - /config/bruce/file
    - /config/bruce/themes
    - /config/bruce/cameras
