Personally, I think that SFTP can be a decent option. Though on Windows hosts that want to access said files, I've found myself needing something like RaiDrive or a similar piece of software: https://www.raidrive.com/

That said, the performance is pretty good and it seems rather stable, I haven't had many issues to date at all. Though my use case is also decidedly simple: just a "push" setup for files/backups when I want to move things from one of my local HDDs to another one that's running on a homelab server. Some might go for a NAS setup, though the simplicity of a SSH key for SFTP is hard to beat.

No idea why Windows doesn't support something like that natively.

I think the answer is right at hand. Or maybe I'm just too cynical.
