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)

    Which OS do you run? Android just isn’t enough anymore these days.

    I 100% agree with this. Different Android “skins” can be so different from one another in look and feel and capabilities I would qualify them as separate Operating Systems which run Android Apps.

    Same as with Linux Distros. They all use the same kernel and same low level components like system-d, bash, glibC, … but can offer vastly different capabilites and user experiences.
