ELI5 - Library path and External Path

I cannot seem to get the right path name to add an smb share folder for adding an external folder on my mac. Anyone able to help tell me what I'm doing wrong ? I've updated the yml file/admin path as well. Maybe I'm not linking the path correctly ?

1 . For the external path, I tried using smb://Tower._smb._tcp.local/Server/Photos, as well as /Volumes/Server/Photos and /Tower._smb._tcp.local/Server/Photos. Each time I updated the .yml file along with the admin path. What am I doing wrong here ?

2. I'd also like to set up the folder where uploaded files are saved from new files from the app to my smb share instead of locally.

I'm using my NAS as cold storage only so just need a little help with directing these two things to the share as I have docker installed on my Mac running the container.

Thank you !
