Shared folders are restricted to the internal network by default and shouldn’t be opened to the public. Additionally if you use LDAP you cannot set permissions for the shares. You may use VPN to access the shared folder.

Nextcloud is an alternative to share files. It allows syncing to local devices.

ok if i install nethserver on my pc’s virtual box and then i should be able to access shared folder correct?

Yes.

If you use samba DC you may need to allow promiscuous mode in virtualbox. It’s not needed for LDAP.
