I think the only reason there's two folders in there is that it's an internal Atlassian inconsistency in their programming. One module forgot the "s" and no tested or cares to fix it. I've never gotten any value from the logs folder, fwiw, and it's never bloated or even got files, but it auto-generates at launch if you deleted them.
It's perfectly safe to mount them on the same share, as it probably is an advisable measure to safeguard from future oops with the "s" in the code. lol
I transfer logs regularly to S3 with the following code - this is for server, so you'll need to tweak it to include the shared home for DC.
### CONFIGURATION - Root Variables ###
######################################
## Update the S3 root for the application in question with NO trailing slash
#
## Target S3 Log Folder Root is:
S3FolderRoot="s3://<FOLDER>/<Target With No Slash At End>"
## Update the target root for the relevant Atlassian application with NO trailing slash
#
## Confluence Home logs directory is:
HomeDirLogsRoot="/<HOME DIR ROOT>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs"
## Update the target root for the relevant Atlassian application with NO trailing slash
#
## Confluence Install logs directory is:
InstallDirLogsRoot="/opt/atlassian/confluence/logs"
### Script Below - do not modify ###
#########################################################################################
#
# Note: Making this a variable instead of a function means that the timestamp is made at launch.
# It will not change as the copying proceeds for each run of the script and minutes tick by.
#
timestamp=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M` #Sets timestamp for the copy to use as a root folder in S3
#echo $timestamp
s3TimestampFolderRoot="$S3FolderRoot/$timestamp" #appends the timestamp on the S3 target directory
#echo $s3TimestampFolderRoot
### Target Variables
S3HomeTarget="$s3TimestampFolderRoot/AppLogs" #Builds root folder for S3 for log set from Home Directory (Application Logs)
#echo $S3HomeTarget
S3InstallTarget="$s3TimestampFolderRoot/TomcatLogs" #Builds root folder for S3 for log set from Install Directory (Tomcat Logs)
#echo $S3InstallTarget
## Each of the Directory Roots goes through the specified log directory root recursively. It copies the folder structure then copies the files.
## The results will appear on the screen in reverse order, but the results will be correct.
## Additional directory targets can be added by copying the For-->done block and adding new Root & Target Variables, accordingly.

echo Transfer completed, starting Confluence service can be done with the following command:
echo /etc/init.d/confluence start
This will recursively go through all the files and folders in the root and transfer them to the S3 target with the same structure. Hope that helps get you started!
Another handy list for Confluence - When shutting down the linux server, if I need to clear cache / temp files, I also run these commands while the service isn't running:
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/plugins-*
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/bundled-plugins/
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs/*
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/export/*
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs/support/
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/temp/*
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/restore/*
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/export/*
rm -rfv /<<HOME DIR ROOT>>/atlassian/application-data/confluence/backup/*
rm -rfv /opt/atlassian/confluence/logs/*
rm -rfv /opt/atlassian/confluence/temp/*
Good Luck!
