How should photos be separated/managed now that a directory can be "watched"?
Now that Immich can import from an existing photo directory, how should we set up uploading? For instance if I have two users, myself and my partner. I believe I would set up 2 separate directory mounts and point to each one under each User setting. Now I'm curious if the mobile apps can be setup to upload to each user's import directory? Or are all users photos still uploaded to the same photo directory with different user directories within that photo directory?

Right now any upload files will be in UPLOAD_LOCATION in the .env file. We might change a few things in the future to help unify these features
Ah ok. So every user will have their files uploaded to the same directory
Yes, that is correct for the current behavior
How are the user files kept separate in that directory
By userId or a costumed storage label by user which can be set by the admin
Cool thanks
Let me know if you have more questions
