By far the easiest solution is to use one of the commercial cloud
providers such as Dropbox or Google Drive. I'd certainly consider those
before rolling my own solution, as long as they meet your requirements.
There are also secure file sharing services used by financial companies,
layers, etc. The ones I've encountered worked with a web browser.
File sharing means users will download files as opposed to just viewing
remote content so always seeing the current version on the server.
NextCloud uses WebDAV. My former work blocked WebDAV at the firewall:
Windows 10 Pro has an NFSv3 client that works well on my LAN inside Windows Explorer.
You could use an ssh tunnel: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/788423 (putty has an option
"don't start a shell or command" when creating tunnels).
