But that is exactly what I am saying. Everything I have on my phone has an app. Immich for photos for example.
Each app that stores things on my server already manages the data to get there.
So is there a need for a file server that works on my phone like this person is asking about?
I mean I do have SMB access from my phone as well, but I hardly need it since individual apps are already pushing and pulling data from my server.

Non app storage needs then… My best guess then is messaging app attachments? maybe OP needs to save docs/pdfs he gets from Whatsapp/telegram. But you’re right, that seems more of a laptop/PC activity.
