I use it on android to talk to my synology and a proxmox server at my house from anywhere.
It comes in handy from time to time. I run a "public" subsonic server but I don't have most of my own productions on it, but I can open VLC on android and go to a bookmarked share and play it all there.
Also stuff like NVR camera feeda I can look at over tailscale, too. No "cloud" storage needed.
I wish there was an easy reliable way to do this that didn't involve a for-profit; but until awful things happen I am fine using this for low-friction, trivial network access.
