Summary of the issue you are facing:

Hello, i want to acces my folder, where my Photos are, in order to configure Immich to use that directory.How do i find the Directory?

Hi Max_Grohmann,

I have had no exposure to Nextcloud AIO, but if it is similar enough to my installation I would go about it like this:

  • Log in to the server over SSH
  • Browse to /var/www/nextcloud/config
  • find the entry datadirectory, eg $ cat config.php |grep data (mine shows: 'datadirectory' => '/home/yunohost.app/nextcloud/data',
  • look in the configured data directory; I have directories per user, and then the actual data is in the files directory.

It may seem a bit convoluted, but with different configurations, there is no fixed location where files may end up.
