Getting Images into Immich

Hello, i am very new to the immich setup and got it working on a raspberry pi with external drive mounted into it. Everything seems to work fine. At the moment i am dragging photos via web interface from my pc to the external drive and let it index by immich. Works pretty good. Sometimes with bigger photo folders, the upload breaks up and i need to restart it and there is a lot of time consumed by uploading already transfered images and finding duplicates. Is it in any way possible to connect the external drive to my pc and transfer all pictures to some folder, which immich then sorts after i reconnect it to the raspberry pi.
