🐞 Bug: Immich - Changing UPLOAD_LOCATION in .env has no effect on where files are stored #310

Bug Description:
I have a NAS with 2 storage pools and wanted to store my Immich library on the second pool. I changed UPLOAD_LOCATION in the .env file to point to a path on that pool, but Immich kept writing to the default ./immich-data/upload directory instead. The env var seems to be ignored.

Expected Behavior:
Setting UPLOAD_LOCATION in .env should control where uploads are stored.

Actual Behavior:
No matter what I set UPLOAD_LOCATION to, data always ends up in ./immich-data/upload.
