I'm pretty new to self hosting, so apoligies in advance if what i wanna do sounds stupid. I've had an old lenovo desktop set up with truenas for about a month now, and I was wondering if it was possible to have an smb share and a filebrowser instance use the same directory. I tried to set it up like this when deploying filebrowser but when I set the directory to the smb share, truenas gave me an error saying that the path is being used as an smb share. the reason why I wanna do this is for simple access in my desktops file explorer, while also being able to access the same files from my phone, or over the internet. thanks in advance for taking time out of your day to give me a hand.

Compared to TrueNAS, CasaOS is more of a "platform for running apps", but unless you're storing dozens of terabytes of improtant data in RAID or something, it's still probably the easier/lower maitenence option.
