<pre class="language-yaml"><code class="lang-yaml"><strong>compose-override:
</strong><strong>    services:
</strong><strong>        &#x3C;my-service>:
</strong><strong>            volumes:
</strong>                - '/data/shared_photos:/shared_photos'
</code></pre>

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that this directory is shared with all apps and the system. Modifying files in this directory could conflict with other apps.
