Access File shares using port forwarding

Hey @grimm1369. Thanks for reaching out to us, and we'd be happy to help with your file sharing question. 

To get started, we'd recommend against using SMB as this will leave your data unencrypted when it's being shared. We would suggest using a service like OneDrive or SharePoint. This will allow you to share files with your brother in a more secure way. 

If you need to transfer a large collection of files with a lot of data, then you can try using Rsync, which will encrypt your files to keep them safe. 

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I like the idea of using another service. But I think there are storage limits for onedrive. I would need to buy the 1TB of storage at a monthly charge. I would rather not setup or purchase sharepoint. The files are video files.  Rsync might be a solution, but Ill have to see, I just want this to be simple to access files as needed. I want no or little involement

So you are saying that we would need to use a paid cloud service because AT&T blocks 445 traffic and we cannot do something that we could have done for free off of the fiber line?
