I have a complete file structure with years on years worth of photos and videos. I've learned you can add an external library to Immich and it'll scan the pics you have there, but is it possible for it to scan recursivley?

for example i give the path "/mnt/drive" and immich can find "/mnt/drive/cat/picture.jpeg". is this possible?

Yes. It'd be pretty silly of it not to.

I just gave it my giant lightroom library.
