Research direction
Start with apps/maps/lib/BackgroundJob/AddPhotoJob.php and apps/maps/lib/Service/PhotofilesService.php from the cron stack trace, then follow the external-storage calls into apps/files_external/lib/Lib/Storage/SMB.php and the Icewind SMB connection files. Reproduce the cron run with the reported setup and trace the connection failure. Done means cron completes without the reported exception.
