Anyone know a good way to share files between self-hosted server and a local user? (sh.itjust.works)

I download and store music in my home folder for my desktop user, but also would like to share it with my jellyfin server, but obviously I cannot select a folder from my home folder as a library folder.

Is there any simple and clean way to make this folder available on a server?

From some of the other comments, it seems like maybe the jellyfin server might be running on the desktop PC, in which case you can set the file permissions to be readable/writable by a group that both you and the jellyfin user are in.
