Use an USB Drive as UPLOAD_DESTINATION and already having files

Hi again , sorry to bother you again but I didn't find the solution in the docs. I have an harddrive of ~20000 pictures that I want to use as an external storage. Is there a way to "import" the pictures without uploading them ? since they are alreay on the drive. Not sure if I am clear...
Thank you !
