I run a company that's currently using a classic SMB file server for our company and job data. We need to provide some folders for external access, and at the moment, we're relying on SolarWinds Serv-U to enable this through a web interface. However, I'm facing some critical challenges: I can't enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for domain users, and I'm worried there might be configuration issues that could risk our data. What are the standard practices or tools you recommend for securely exposing files or folders from an SMB file server?

Have you looked into any other solutions yet? I'm curious about what you've evaluated so far and why they didn’t work for you.
Consider Datto Workplace as well. Just be aware that investing in SMB shares like this in 2025 might not be ideal. I’d recommend checking out SharePoint or other cloud workflows for greater flexibility.
One solid option could be SharePoint. It offers a secure way to manage external sharing while integrating well with your existing tools.
