down under webserver: you change data:/usr/src/paperless/data to /path/to/where/you/wantorhave/your/files:/usr/src/paperless/data. Same for the media path and you’re done. paperless now uses a folder on your machine instead of a volume.
If you want to be clean you will then also remove the volume declaration at the bottom of the file.
i think OP wants it to leave their current files alone. But Paperless doesn’t work like that, it deletes the originals and arranges the files its own way.
Paperless does support defining a folder structure that you can use to organize documents within that paperless media volume however you should treat it as read only.
OP could use this as a way to keep their desired folder structure as much as possible, but it would have to be separate from the consumption folder.
Have a look here: [https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/blob/main/docker/compose/docker-compose.postgres.yml](paperless-ngx docker-compose.yml)

I do want to leave my current files alone.
Ah OK, misunderstood that
