Best software solution for remote access?

[skimmilk5]

I work in audio, video and photo, and thus frequently have to deliver large files. I have been doing that with Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive, but am quickly running out of space as my schedules fill up. I have a server that I would like to use to allow people to get files when they need them. Basically, I want to be able to use my own storage server appliance with a service similar to Dropbox or Google Drive so that I can use my own storage. I heard of OwnCloud, but it does not have compatibility for Windows 8.1, Server 2012 R2 or later (I have two machines that could be used, one is running Windows 8.1 Pro and the other is running Server 2012 R2). Does anyone know how this could be done with the client requiring no additional tools or software?

No, I want a remote access server that can be accessed outside of the LAN.

Thanks! I'm not sure where to start, though.

It's free and very easy to set up.  You just need to set up port forwarding on your router to redirect whatever port from the WAN to port 80 of your file server.  Create accounts, add folders to different accounts, and away you go.

 

Life is much easier on Windows.  I imagine this would be an all day project on linux.

Ah! I was looking at the source code with much confusion.

With Linux I would imagine all you'd have to do is enable the SFTP/FTPS daemon, point it to a port that's not a commonly used one (unless you're fine with 20/21), and do a port forward on the modem.
