Hi
You can stick to the non-Git method https://docs.moodle.org/en/Upgrading#Standard_install_package or somehow shift to the Git mode https://docs.moodle.org/en/Upgrading#Using_Git.

Hi Chris and Rick
I think https://docs.moodle.org/en/Private_files are meant to be "single source of truth". I know, it is all visual, no automation with FTP, rsync, etc. Yes, the whole thing is underwhelming. My explanation is that the "old fashioned" course based directory tree (in Moodle 1) was replaced with https://docs.moodle.org/en/Repositories (in Moodle 2) to be user-friendly for the most basic users - leaving the not so basic users go hunting for work-arounds.
@Chris, that said, since you seem to be the only person, who uploads files, have a look at the https://docs.moodle.org/en/File_system_repository.

Is the more general case being answered here https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=379291#p1530366 ?
Perhaps you'll find some hints here: "NFS for dataroot" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=379530.
