This is a basic and fundamental purpose of having computer networks.
You have computer networks to get access to other computer files and for other computers to access yours.
With the Internet this is controlled so that you can easily set up access to only files that you permit others to see. That is why we have websites. It used to be that we only accessed other computers at school with educational networks, work with corporate networks or at home for only very special computer geek kind of people.
The Internet allows you to access other files including your own that you may store online through file storage services. You have heard of “Google Drive”, “One Drive” and “DropBox”, have you?
