How to share a folder for a smartphone (android)?

Question

linux

There is a folder with documents on the laptop, sometimes you need to look at the document and the laptop is not at hand. How to access a folder on a laptop remotely? Cloud services are not suitable for a number of reasons. Remote access is also not the same, only a folder is needed.

Answer 1

If inside the locale, then just share the folder via the SMB protocol, if at a distance, then ssh / sftp

Answer 2

I use ES Explorer on my smartphone. One of his features is web browsing.
In total, we just fumble the folder on the laptop, browse the network on the smartphone, climb on the laptop and get into the folder.

Answer 3

IMHO, the best option is to raise vpn and view the necessary documents via SMB.
of the minuses:
you need to tinker with deploying a vpn server you
need a white ip
if the ip is not static, then you have to conjure with dynamic dns
