Can I use PhotoPrism and Synology Photos with the same folders? (alien.top)

On a Synology NAS, can I set up Synology Photos and PhotoPrism to use the same folder of photos? The reason I want to do this is for properly testing both applications before I set them up on all the devices for the rest of my family.

I am a complete noob, therefore I have no idea if this is possible or what I would have to do. I managed to set both of them up already, but after doing research, still no idea what I would have to do for both apps to use the same folder for my pictures.

Just mount the synology photos folder in photoprism as the originals folder.

I just made it work for Synology drive. Firstly you create the user for docker then assign the permission to your photo folder then when you create the project on container manager just set the UID and GID and mount your photo path to originals by using compose file on volume variable. That’s all
