Attempting to run Steam games from a shared folder on a TerraMaster NAS

As SSD prices climb and games continue to occupy 100+ GB, storage space on gaming devices comes at a premium. If you have a home NAS with some decent sized hard drives, for backing up your important files and sharing your *legally obtained* movies across your home network, you might wonder: can I use some of that space to host my Steam library?

Well, can you?
