How do I go about hosting a shared drive for both Windows and Linux
The TLDR is that you create the filesystem on Linux/Raspberry Pi. Then you "export" that file system via some software to remote computers. You can use Samba (https://www.samba.org/) to create CIFS shares which can be mounted by either Linux or Microsoft Windows devices. There are of course other software/protocols you can use to export the filesystems like NFS, iSCSI, CEPHFS, etc; but these are a bit more complicated than what a novice can deploy. I would start with Samba/CIFS and then branch out once you get more experienced.

Is there any r/rust library for "net use"?
I think you want a CIFS/SMB client? A quick search turned up smbc, which looks like it does what you want. All three crates are based on libsmbclient, which is a C implementation from the Samba project.

End-to-End Encrypted Cloud Storage in the Wild: A Broken Ecosystem
seafile is open source (https://github.com/haiwen/seafile), or at least was, when I looked at it years ago. Definitely a concern when the paper mentioned an acknowledge of the protocol downgrade as of 29th April 2024, yet the latest version on the seafile github is dated feb 27.
