Access Linuxfilesystem from MS-Sharpoint 2016

What do I need to configure on my SUSE Enterprise LINUX that a MS-SharPoint 2016 is able to write, read, delete files on the Linux Server?
Are there different option?

If yes, which one is to be preferred?

Are there other Ways - e.g. with SMB? or NFS?
To reach the same target?

Samba is used for CIFS
NFS is a linux native predecessor of CIFS

Sharepoint can be mounted using davfs2 filesystem (WebDAV access).

This sounds interesting. I was not aware that SharePoint could do anything other than download files to a file system. Wasn't aware that it could read or delete files on any file system. How does that work? Is it a way to connect SharePoint with a file explorer?

Hope the questions are not too dumb...

webdav is a method to access a Sharepoint from a Linux system.
As such Sharepoint is a Passive service.

What you can do is using a sync tool like rsync to keep a linux system in sync with a a different system.
either using a mount point or more direct using ssh access.

You can also setup a webdav service on the linux system (like with Nextcloud) and connect those together.
