ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload error SPIFFS Error: esptool not found!

Hi, i trying to upload data files to a ESP8266 NodeMCU using the SPIFFS on arduino IDE 1.8.9

installed esptools and esp8266FS-0.1.3

When i give the command in the ide tools/esp8266 Sketch Data Upload i get the error

SPIFFS Error: esptool not found!

running esptool.py works fine, so there might be a problem in the dir path

I'm a newbe so i hope someone can help me
