Hello,
today I set up OMV 1.6 on my BANANA Pi. A Big Hello to all OMV Forum users! 
I planned to share my pictures and maybe some videos with my parents over Internet.
What kind of setup would be the best choice, if I want them to use their windows explorer to watch the files?
Setup at my home
Banana pi with Sata HDD connected on an AVM Fritzbox
Setup at my family
Windows PCs on an DD wrt Router
If you want windows explorer you will have to use openvpn+samba. But that is not a very good/smooth experience
What is your upload link?
At home I do have 10 Mbits upload and they have 16 Mbits download speed.
VPN is somehow not quite easy to setup 
That's a good uplink. I would say samba should work ok for displaying pictures, for movies I don't know, since it wont be transcoding but for SD and 720p should be fine. You need to test it first maybe.
Try the openvpn plugin, if you don't want then you'll have to expose samba directly to the internet fwding ports in your router.
For windows explorer, i know you can mount ftp sites natively, they are not displayed as HDD like samba shares (network map drive)
The easiest is Plex media server but there is no arm package for debian
Other thing would be to share as plain http web, you'll have to configure your browser to open the links in some media player (like VLC)
Oh No,
there is no openVPN Plugin for Banana Pi. 
Thats normal because is the initial certificate creation. That can take some time in a low power system
Also, consider to use the OpenVPN-AS Plugin if you want easy install on your parents system.
Greetings
David
Yesterday I was able to setup OpenVPN. The plugin is working in some way.
Just a hint for all Fritzbox users from Germany:
Don't use Myfritz DDNS Service! It is not working properly. Try another external service.
This morning the openvpn plugin didn't work again. I was not able to find out why.
After so many hours finding out the error and the low performance on first test yesterday I should consider to try owncloud or something similar.
But on my first try owncloud doesn't work either 
OpenVPN AS is a lot easier to setup but only 2 users can access at a time without buying more licenses.
