You may want to consider if your teachers are working from home and you have a file server at school. As an alternative to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., you could have them connect via ZeroTier, a virtual network app that essentially puts your computer on the same network as any computer on your school’s network, regardless of where you are, with almost no configuration. So far, we haven’t had to change any firewall/router settings, which means the school’s network isn’t open to the world. All you do is install the utility on each computer or virtual machine, join it to the ‘network,’ and on the ‘Networks’ page on my.zerotier.com, allow that computer to join the network.
