Description

This is not a bug, but a question.

Is there a way to access files on mounts available to the server host? That way I would not need to use the clunky "upload" feature -- I could use the file system to set up my project just the way I wanted it, then go into Overleaf and access that project.

Research direction

The issue mentions no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the toolkit's existing documentation and configuration for host mounts and project file access. Done would require determining whether arbitrary host-mounted files are supported and, if not, defining the scope for enabling that access.
