If you have set up a VPN/RDP session then the transport of the files is generally encrypted, so in a short answer, No. Working remotely shouldn’t change the access that you have to your company data, even though you are not physically inside the office. With an RDP/VPN connection into the office, in most cases, once the connection is active, you will be able to access and save your work to the same work locations on the computer or server locations as if you were in the office. When you set up a remote connection through RDP you are connecting remotely, usually to either a client computer (PC, Laptop, etc.) or you are setting up a remote session direct to a file server. Both of which provide remote access securely and simply. These tend to be the traditional RDP (remote desktop protocol) with a remote connection through a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) or more utilising a 3 rd party software application such as TeamViewer or Logmein.

When working remotely, there are multiple options to choose from, however, we will focus on the most used. In this case, the answer will vary depending on how you are working remotely and what method you are using to remote in. As with most things within IT, each answer is different depending on how you are doing each action.
