The method comprises the steps of: - providing (S100) a secure device (10), the latter protected by design against malicious software or malware and adapted to establish a connection to a server (40 through a telecommunication network and this, preferably via a host (30) connected to the server (40); - establishing (S300) a connection (91) between the secure device and the server (40); - receiving (S350) at the secure device, through the established connection (91), data pertaining to a file system identifying files which are at least partly stored outside the secure device; - exposing (S600) at the secure device the file system to a user, based on the data received from the server, the file system navigable by the user.
