Folder view - no shared folders from partner?

Hi all,

new here, currently test driving Immich 1.137.3 to hopefully replace PiGallery2 and provide some additional comforts (timeline view, etc) to our family photo management.

We currently have thousands of photos collected over the years in a well maintained folder-file structure (YYYY/YYMM - event name/files) which resides on our NAS.

I managed to add a subfolder of this photo storage as a read-only to my Docker deployment and was able to add it as an external library to Immich.

I was also able to then share my photos with the test account I generated for my partner. My partner's account was able to see these photos in their timeline (after enabling it in the account options) but it is not possible to see the shared folders in the folder view (enabled for both accounts).

Is this by design or a bug?

I wonder how other families are using Immich. I understand that there is currently no way to automatically generate albums for folders in external libraries. This would solve the problem I believe as albums are shared with partners?

Thanks for your feedback!
