Is your secretary only working from the office? Is that also where the NAS is located?

HI Steven
No she is in a remote office 75 miles away. That is why i want to link up if i can as it will save lots of travel and enable the secure transfer of documents.
Any ideas?

First I'm trying to get a handle on the usage. Is that NAS in your home? If so, both of you are accessing it remotely most of the time - is that right?

Hi Stephen.
Yes the Nas is in my home. I tend to work more from home than the office although i do need to occasionally access the Nas remotely. My secretary if of course miles away.
As an example, today I returned from my meetings with a load of materials which need transfereing to the office. mainly lage pictures, and scanned PDFs. Too big to email. ideally i would like to dump on my server from the laptop and then create a link so my secretary can suck the data down to the firms official server. THis would be preferable and more secure than say a One Drive or Drop box- or so my thinking goes.
Does this help? I am sorry if my initial post was vague.
