Map shared drive from AWS EC2

I have created an EC2 instance(Windows Server) on AWS environment and configured a shared drive on the instance, but I cannot map the shared drive from the EC2 instance to the local computer due to SMB port 445 is blocked.

How do I proceed further on this to map the drive as alternate solution?

Comcast Business blocks certain ports to protect our customers and the integrity of the Comcast network. These blocks cannot be lifted.

Per recommendations set forth by the United States Department of Homeland Security’s National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center and the Computer Emergency Readiness Team, Comcast Business Internet blocks Port 445 over the public internet in our network. You will need to find an alternative method.

https://business.comcast.com/support/article/internet/blocked-port-445 I have seen this article, where it has alternate suggestion for Microsoft Azure, but I did not find any information related to AWS. 

What is the alternate solution suggested for this?

@Kappi17 That is completely up to you. We do not provide suggestions for third party products as it varies per need.
