== Step 3: Find your hidden share ==

Once you’ve added the server to your favorites, you might notice nothing pops up on the screen. Plus, you might see items in favorites you never added. Don’t worry, it’s just open source quirks. Scroll over, and you’ll see the share you added. No mistakes here—it’s just open source being open source.

**Make sure you’re connected to your VPN!

Before you can connect to your share, make sure you’re attached to your VPN. Without it, you won’t be able to access your share. Once connected, you can click on your share!

# '''Authenticate''':
#* You’ll see <code>Archive</code>, but you need to authenticate with your username and password.
#* Enter your credentials. You can save them in VLC or use a password manager like Bitwarden—whatever floats your boat. I’ll save it in VLC for now.
# '''Access Files''':
#* Click on your file, and let’s watch. Ignore any video player tips. And there you have it! That’s how you connect to your share from anywhere in the world to view your files.
