I have an external 4TB drive with some files stored on it that I want

need to do to make the external drive accessible as a samba share if that is what it

You want to connect the drive to an ASUS router. Make/Model may be useful.
Anyway, the ASUS router will then act as the samba-server and you share the drive using
the GUI of
the ASUS.
You F32 system is the client. You should then be able to use mount in much the same way
as you would
for nfs using cifs as the file system type.
