Send pictures attachments from Motioneye outside www folder to telegram

Dear all,

I have HA and MotionEye integration in a RP PI 4. I can send pictures attachments to telegram when the file is in the www directory (/config/www). But MotionEye don’t allow to save the pictures in other file than …/share/motioneye/CameraX.

I tried to fix this whith all the following options:

1.- Modify the storage folder in motioneye integration, for example I put in the file storage section “/config/www/motioneye/Camera1” or “/local/motioneye/Camera1” and others to try. Then I restart, and dont works. Motioneye dont save the picures in this new folder.
2.- Modify configuration.yaml to add the following options:
2.1.-

whitelist_external_dirs:
- '/share/motioneye/Camera1'

2.2.-

allowlist_external_dirs:
  - /share/motioneye/Camera1
allowlist_external_urls:
  - https://xxxxxx.duckdns.org:8123/share/motioneye/Camera1/jose.jpg

I am very desperate with this problem, testing and cheking for houres, and imposible to find a solution.

The only solution for send pictures is when these pictures are in the ww folder, then all works fine. In my case I cand send notifications to telegram with this format:

Node red:

Where the function node:

msg.payload = {"caption": "PruebaFoto", "url": "https://josemsubcnas.duckdns.org:8123/local/jose.jpg"}
return msg;

and the Send Phot Node is:
