1. A system comprising:

  • a processor-implemented, cloud-based server node configured to;

    receive a request from a processor-implemented client node external to a local network of the server node to access data in a share associated with the server node, the share comprising one or more data files;

    receive a communication from a processor-implemented management nexus, the communication including a confirmation of an identity of the client node and a confirmation of an authorization for the client node to access the data in the share associated with the server node, the communication further including an identifier of a relay session established between a relay server and the client node by the management nexus, wherein the management nexus maintains a shares database identifying a plurality of available shares and an access control list associated with the available shares for each relay session, and wherein the management nexus maintains key management between the cloud-based server node and the client node; and

    responsive to receiving the communication from the management nexus, send the client node the data in the share associated with the server node via the identified relay session without sending the data to the management nexus.
