Not useful a comment, I know, but until they allow specifying a folder (possibly remote) where images are stored, I won’t feel compelled to use this at all.
Weird, in Control Panel/Indexing Service/Indexed Folder I have a large collection flagged as “Photo” which is stored in /volumeX/photo, I do think the indexing is OK because those photos are available via DLNA, but Synology Photos keeps welcoming me with an empty screen and no photo whatsoever.

You can include external folders to just be indexex/Metadata and keep the original as is

This indexing is for DLNA only and has nothing to do with synology photos.
Which was my impression as well, so how else can I get it to index like OP suggests?
sorry for the late reply, https://documentation.immich.app/docs/features/read-only-gallery is how you do it. There’s no ui way AFAIK.
But… this was a post about Synology :)
LOL. But i was tired and the logos don’t at all look the same.
