I don't have much recent experience with networking between local computers
(back in the day (15 to 25 years ago, I used SAMBA) (e.g., NAS), but recently
started digging into it again.
For my current purposes, I'm finding ssh (sshfs) pretty convenient, partly
because I recently set up ssh for other reasons and then the leap to sshfs is
quite small.
I've always had a "learning disability" with respect to NFS, and sort of a
religious objection to SAMBA (and also some problems with it, but I forget
what those were, they were annoying things, and just to make up something,
maybe it had to losing connectivity without being notified or something
similarly aggravating).
sshfs seems to be outperformed (speedwise) by SAMBA and NFS, but it is hard to
imagine that being a real problem with modern (fast) computers and 100MB or
better Ethernet.
If you have sshfs set up, you have nothing more to do on the server.
On the client, you install the sshfs client.
