I’m working with a Ryzen 1600 system running Windows 10 and Plex Server. I’ve begun a new role that lets me invest, trade stocks, and handle consulting tasks from the office while managing my manager responsibilities. I’m looking for a way to access my files from home without overloading the machine. If I use Dropbox or Box, could there be any conflict with their services? I’m unsure about setting up multiple systems and feel a bit outdated on remote access options. I’d appreciate any advice on how to keep everything running smoothly and securely. Plex specifications are available if you need them.

I’d prefer using the FTP method, or you might configure a VPN connection for your network so you can reach your devices remotely.
