I have a TrueNAS server at home and thought I could easily connect it to my phone (Pixel 7) as a network drive but was surprised to learn that Android doesn’t have a built in feature for that.

iOS/iPadOS does have this to my surprise built in via the ‘Files’ app.

Or did I just not look hard enough in the Android settings? (I know there are 3rd party apps for this)

    My Samsung phone does have that feature in the My Files app that comes pre installed. I don’t use it because File Manager+ is so much better. And I have access to my SFTP, LAN and NAS. I am not associated with the app. Just enjoy it and recommend it because I find it very useful.

      Yeah, was about to write that My Files comes with support for SMB, FTP, and SFTP.
