Summary of the issue you are facing:
Photos (…/apps/photos/) would not recognize pics/movies on smb share mounted as Local with permissions ‘www-data:www-data’.
I have tried mounting smb share directories on ‘/var/www/nextcloud/data or /var/www/nextcloud-data/’ as well, but not successful to access on Nextcloud Web or App.
But, able to access all content as normal browsing.
