The bug

I'm using custom location bind mounts in my docker-compose. The upload and thumbs directories are different places on disk. The issue is that thumbs appear in both locations (upload/thumbs and ./thumbs) on my actual drives.

It seems to be stored according to the account-ID and album on the device. One user has all thumbs stored in upload/thumbs. Another has it split according to the different albums.

I also use a custom storage template {{y}}/{{MM}}/{{filename}}

Also of note is that an empty profile folder is also create under upload. Again, I would expect this not to happen. In this case, all the profile data is written to ./profile as expected.

All this occurs because I want to store my immich photos in the same directory as my other non-phone pictures on disk. If there is a recommended solution for this that is not custom bind mounts, this would also help solve my issue, but not necessarily the bug

Reproduction steps

1. `docker compose up`
2. Notice that `thumbs` and `profile` folders are created under `uploads` as well as in `./`
3. Set up a client phone for backup
4. See thumbnails being generated in both `uploads/thumbs` and `./thumbs`
