Hi, anybody knows how to connect to my local samba share that I got on my umbrel.local? I dont have any problems with that on my Linux machine, the simple command: `smb://umbrel.local:446` works on my Linux machine, but Android (I use One UI galaxy phone) keep refuse to connect to that network drive. Any one have simillar issues? Best Regards. ---

you would have to load a client app that will host the smb/cifs protocol in a file manager like AndSMB
