#How to setup two user location paths?

Hello,
I'm trying without luck to setup path locations for the upload library for two users. I'd like to be able to have a Photos directory in each user main folder on the NAS to be able to browse the library through file explorer too with ease.
The nas structure is like that in Windows:
\NAS\Arthur\Photos
\NAS\Lucie\Photos
\NAS\docker\Immich
Or like that in the synolgy DSM /Volume 1/Arthur

I'm new to this environment, and lost between the compose and the .env volumes and location paths, I don't know if it's possible to keep thumbnails and such on the default location within the docker path and only redirect the original files location paths.

I don't know if it's a good approach or a bad idea, what will happened for example if I rename folders or move files through file explorer?

I'm not sure what to do and will be really grateful if I can have some help.

Look into storage templates, they are probably what you’re looking for

I looked at that and changed the template to my needs. My question is how to change the UPLOAD_LOCATION path that's grayed out in this template
