Hi
It is better to create a sub directory under /files then
change the ownership to your username.

For example;


sudo mkdir /files/data
sudo chmod 755 /files/data
sudo chown yourusername:users /files/data

You could change the ownerships of files, but I would not recommend it
for a directory direct of the root files system.

Not necessary to make a su directory just do

sudo chmod 755 /files
sudo chown yourusername:users /files
4

you need to change the permission of /files dir using chmod command e.x login as root and execute chmod 777 /files
