Describe the bug
Im using docker-compose.yml and .env using docker desktop on windows 10. I added my path to my files in .env. But it wont show the files inside immich. I am hosting the files in samba share. I have a network drive with the photos and videos. Ive tried \(ip-adress)\Google-Photos but it gives me an error no network path and wont start. But when i use a network drive letter ie M:\Media\Google-Photos it completes the running of docker-compose up -d but does not show any files inside the webui.

Are you pointing Immich at a folder that already has files in it? That won't work. Instead, you need to upload files via one of the clients (mobile, web, or cli).

thats not true. it does scan the folder with files already inside. when you add the library in it and scan it, it start the importing. as OP said, its still a problem with network drive permission with docker desktop and network samba share.
