I'm amazed that Android doesn't have a built in way to connect to a network drive like iOS/iPadOS has

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)

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.
