    /media or /mnt are common places to host files and folders that many users will access.

    Thank you for the heads up and quick answer! I think I will migrate today and see if it simplifies things for me. Since I don't have tons of media, I think it won't take that long, too. Would you move the config directories as well?

    Also when talking about best practices (knowing that this forum is not a place to discuss Linux things), would you recommend that I also move my personal files (e.g. family pictures and such) from the home directory of SMB shares? I know this is very far from Jellyfin and basically a data management question but since you seem to have at least any kind of opinion on this, I thought I could ask.
