VPN Connected, but know what to do?

Ok, so I've been able to make VPN connectivity between two locations but cannot find the remote computers in my File Explorer.  Am I supposed to use Remote Desktop or something else to find these machines, NAS, etc.?

    Hi BSM_ENGINEERING,

     

    Well, it depends on how you wanted to access the files in your network. You may use RDP or you may share the specific folder in public or to a specific user so that you can have an access to it. 

     

    I hope this articles would help.
