Best method to remotely access a network?

Me again!

I have a laptop on the go and i keep needing to upload or download files that are stored on the server at home. I was going to use third party software like FileZilla but I would prefer a built in Windows method if it's more straightforward.

Thanks.

OneDrive is a possible solution. Log in on both Server and Laptop - move files into OD folder and then access from both locations

Issue there is it doesn't directly put it on the server. I'd still have to go home and transfer them.

Run a VPN and file server on your network.

That give you native file management with no additional client tooling (other than VPN client, which is built into windows I think anyway).

You simply mount a network drive once connected to your VPN.

Thanks
