I run both, and I do not upload pictures to Nextcloud. I know it doesn't solve your problem about a Nextcloud instance already running with the photos, but I highly recommend moving over to immich for your photos needs and using it's file structure. I.E. reuploading the files and deleting them from Nextcloud. If someone does have a better way to do it, I could have used it a few months ago, lol.
Then you need a third application (e.g. syncthing) to replicate the auto upload functionality of Nextcloud.
Personally I don't want to have same functionality in a different stack because of pipeline issues. Doesn't solve OPs issue I just wanted to point out that your solution might have drawbacks OP didn't see at first glance :)
Not sure you do. Maybe you can use one to move the existing files on Nextcloid, but immich has an auto upload feature that works perfectly fine on their android app.
I didn't know that about the immich app, thanks for pointing it out!
