So I have all of the devices connected through TailScale (for remote media server access) with a Pihole DNS. All of that works as intended, and my computers can share files between each other, but folders shared across my network aren't visible on my phone for some reason. The file manager that was recommended to me most recently was Material Files, but it isn't detecting my shared folders and plugging in the SMB info myself leads to a vague error.
I'll try CX and report back
"Could not log in to xxx.xxx.x.xxx with user xxxx" but my info is correct, copied and pasted to be sure
Maybe try hostname\username where hostname is the hostname of the server.
Then I get a "SocketTimeoutError"
My guess would then be probably Tailscale or Pihole somehow interfering with that connection for some reason. Idk if you're able (or willing) to remove those from the equation, but that might help narrow things down. If you have access to another computer locally, maybe sharing a folder on that and gradually adding steps to make it closer to your target system until it stops working?
