Remote File Access Suggestions?

this not limited windows server thought best forum topic. have small domain setup few server 2012 standard , datacenter boxes(both physical , vm) , our file storage hosted on windows server 2012 standard.  looking easy use solution secure remote file access through web interface.  have small web interface users can login (preferably authenticating ad) , have access files on storage server control on can see folders.

solutions have tried -

ftps - ftp through firewall and/or load balancer nightmare prefer not deal with

webdav - need able access files without mounting them

owncloud - uses database , pain has rescan lot , have lot of files

sharepoint - overly complex wanting , not mention has no ability access external files (using pageview webpart not work)

i ideally have interface similar old windows home server interface.  have heard server 2012 essentials has similar experience running standard & datacenter not have ability install features(which seems short-sighted).

so thought come here ask if has suggestions accomplish this.

thanks!
