If the Site to Site VPN setup is with hardware boxes (Cisco, Juniper, etc.) then Active Directory might only be used to set up users needing to browse folders. If you can set up the users manually and the folders they need, you may not need Active Directory. <br />

Active Directory is not tied to VPN. <br />

File Sharing over VPN

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

File Sharing Software

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
