I have two standalone Rokus that are a major PITA because of this. There's no way to connect to an NFS share, SMB share, or other local storage directly from the system itself. There's no VLC app for Roku. The best you can do is use the rudimentary "Roku Media Browser" to page through a DLNA server, which means you have to set up either something like Plex (which sucks for a lot of reasons) or at least miniDLNA to access files. It's really disappointing. I've recently installed Jellyfin and even put the Roku in "Developer Mode" so I could install the Jellyfin Roku app from GitHub. This is better because unlike Plex, it won't transcode arbitrarily, but it's far worse because the Jellyfin Roku app crashes frequently, has only basic page-based navigation ("go to page 23 for media that starts with 'T'"), and it requires running a heavy media server for no real reason. I'm still reluctantly using Plex for the time being. When I need something that I haven't put in Plex, I fall back to the Android interface on the FireTV and use VLC to access the NAS over SMB. It still rankles that Roku won't allow an easy way to access local media.
