File Upload with GridFS not working - how can i change to local filesystem?

Description

Hello, we are testing at the moment rocket.chat in our company.
The System is working fine but file upload is not working. If we add a file the upload stuck on 0%.

If i check the “show logs” in the admin backend, i dont see any information about the upload process.

I thought a good solution will be to change the upload to local filesystem but where should i place the files? In the snap path /var/snap/rocketchat-server/common ?

Can someone help me with this question or how to solve the GridFS Problem?
Thank you.

GridFS is working now.
I had a config error - the website url was set in Rocket.Chat to https://chat.domain.com:3000
We caddy as proxy so the :3000 was wrong.

Just one question to the local filesystem config.
If i set it to filesystem and set the path for the file system to /var/snap/rocketchat-server/common/upload, is this correct? Then i set the permission for this folder to 755 and root:root

Thank you
