Hi
Can i make a folder in my computer where so i can reach storage from the outside (at school etc), same way as i can do when im connected to buubba2 inside?
Like the dropbox folder that comes with dropbox.
Do i need VPN? how do i set up VPN on bubba in that case?
Use win7 built in FTP?

I use ExpanDrive, which is a commercial product (and a bit expensive).
FTP also works

I thought you could do this in Windows Explorer pretty easily with out third-part software.

That article also mentions NetDrive which is freeware and might be worth a look.

I use openVPN, which works really well, but you have to be administrator on the computer to install. There is a thread somewhere on the forum about this.
