I see you haven't used Linux for longer, but it has a concept of mounting.

Dude I've used Unix for 40 years since before Linux existed. I had an Android tablet, in which I installed termux on, and mounted my shared network drives using Samba on termux. I literally used the Linux "mount" command to mount it to my termux linux filesystem.

You can see how short is the list of supported phones, it needs to be ported for every device separately and takes huge amount of work

And it was a huge amount of work to port Unix to various hardware back in the day.
