newbie - setup: What is "upload_location"?

Setting up in docker and I don't fully understand "upload_location". Is this a temporary location to which I upload my files and then they'll get moved into a library? Or is this the only location and thus library?

I'm planning on having the database location in my docker VM, but the photos should be stored on an NFS share. Just wondering now if I need multiple NFS shares, one for upload_location and one for the real library?
