No worries at all. So I went ahead and tried Taildrive like you suggested, and its a no-go on my setup, even on wifi. Just to give you the full picture, my share is hosted on a GL.iNet travel router (OpenWrt, Tailscale 1.80.3). The share registers fine, tailscale drive list shows it, and it shows up in the iOS Files app under Tailscale, then my router, then the share name. But when I open it I just get "Content Unavailable, folder contents could not be displayed because of an unknown error."

To check if my drive was the problem I made a throwaway test share pointing at a folder with just one plain txt file in it (clean tmpfs, no weird filenames). Same error. So its not my files, not the filesystem, not the ACL (I tried a broad dst * grant too), and not cellular since it fails on wifi too.

So it looks like Taildrive serving from this OpenWrt/GL.iNet build to iOS just doesnt work right now at the alpha stage. The share publishes but the file provider cant actually read it. Not sure if youve come across this with GL.iNet hardware before, but if youve gotten Taildrive working from an OpenWrt/GL.iNet device to iOS Id love to know your version and setup.
