Possible to change how files are physically stored on disk?

Hello. I think what I am describing may be accomplished with the storage template, but I want to make sure that what I do does not mess up my existing library.

I have an external library where all of my images are stored, currently everything in there is organized in Pictures/YYYY-MM/images*

I recently enabled the mobile upload, hoping it would provide me an easy way to transfer image files from my phone to my computer for sorting and editing, but the way the images are stored is very not human readable (pic attached)

If I enable storage manager, will it completely screw up my external library? Or will it only affect the uploads folder?

Thank you
