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.
It’s not built in, but I generally recommend Solid Explorer for that functionality: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2&hl=en_US&gl=US
MiXplorer gang rise up!
Is that the official distribution link or a personal mirror?
This is official from MiXplorer XDA thread.
There are plenty of third party apps that do this. The integrated file explorer on Samsung devices supports ftp, sftp and smb.
That’s not something I ever though of. Anyway I use Lineage OS with F-droid and I personally wouldn’t choose to lock myself under Apple
If it is WebDAV, DAVx5 has a feature that makes those shares available as a local volume. An sFTP app can be used to xfer files.
TrueNAS probably has a service for synchronized folders like google drive. I don’t know how to access NFS or SMB transparently.
Iirc material files has it.
Samsung’s default file explorer has one. Serving me pretty good.
What do you even do with files on an iOS device?
I use it to access my Syncthing folders.
To what end? Are there iOS apps that can open the files?
I can open PDFs, images, text or audio files in the Files app natively.
