UPLOAD_LOCATION in .env not being respected

Hello, I've set up immich on windows 11 via docker desktop.

In the .env I set the UPLOAD_LOCATION and DB_DATA_LOCATION.

Postgres successfully went to the DB_DATA_LOCATION folder, but when I did a test upload of an image it did not go into the UPLOAD_LOCATION folder.

I thought initial this might be because the UPLOAD_LOCATION folder is on a network drive, so I deleted the image, changed the UPLOAD_LOCATION folder to a local drive, restarted, and tried uploading again, but again it did not go into the UPLOAD_LOCATION folder.
