# Remote files and media access

Remote access to files and media can be useful for a wide range of purposes. Whether you want to watch movies stored on a remote device, such as a home server, or access files on your work computer while you are away from the office, Meshnet provides a convenient way to accomplish these tasks.

In addition, Meshnet uses an encryption mechanism to secure data transfers, helping you protect your sensitive content from being accessed by unauthorized parties. It also eliminates the need to open ports to allow traffic through, which simplifies the setup and reduces the risk of security breaches.

In this section, you can find how-to guides on accessing your remote resources over Meshnet.
