I'm sorry, this browser usually doesn't cooperate with me on Windows, macOS or Linux. I'm guessing you're trying to reach an SMB share. If you have the server's IP or DNS name, you can use the Linux URL format for file servers—just type it into the address bar of your file manager (smb://your-server-dns-or-ip). You can also add it to your favorites. FTP works with ftp://, SFTP with sftp:// and NFS with nfs:// in some file managers. If it still doesn't work, try searching for and installing smbclient and gvfs-smb. They're needed to access SMB shares, and I'm not sure if Pop includes them by default.
I frequently set up TrueNAS inside VirtualBox on FreeBSD. Using TrueNAS it’s easy to configure Nextcloud with a simple click. Through Nextcloud you gain access to upload and download files from any device connected to your local network, whether it’s Android/iOS/macOS/BSD/Windows or Linux. This approach might help you tackle similar challenges.
