Currently I am running Lubuntu 19.04. Right now I am using samba to share my files on my local network ( anyone connected to my network can access the files )
Is there a way to access my files from another network but using a GUI like file explorer, so that I can also view the files and then download them if needed.
I am willing to do anything to access my files from another networking. The only thing is I don't have access to my router and I can't do port forwarding.
Can anyone help?? Thanks

You can use TeamViewer to access your desktop and files from anywhere. It is available for Linux. It works through firewalls, as both the client and the server portions connect to the TeamViewer service, not to each other. TeamViewer is free for personal use.
2If the computer you're working from (so not the file-server) can have a known IP address, you could try to build a reverse tunnel with ssh from the file-server box.
I'm doing the same with a tiny (remote) server which is connected with internet through a GSM modem (no known IP). This box automatically creates a reverse ssh-tunnel to a dyndns domian (my home computer). On my home computer I can access the remote box, transfer files, ssh, etc.
