Over all you should never use Lighting for storage. That is why we have ServerStorage and ReplicatedStorage. ServerStorage cannot be accessed by the client and neither can ServerScriptService. ReplicatedStorage can be accessed by the client. If you want to know all the things that the client can access, try doing a server test in studio. Then look at the client. You should be able to see all the things that the client would be able to see/use in a normal server. I hope this helps and have a great day scripting!

This is not very clear. Could you explain yourself a bit better? Also Lighting should never be used for storage. ReplicatedStorage and ServerStorage are designed for storage.
You can tell because their name ends in storage. I guess that might be a bit unclear when you are first starting to learn how studio works.
I know that Lighting is the obvious place to store things as compared to ReplicatedStorage or ServerStorage.
But as it turns out: You should never use Lighting for storage.
I hope this helps and have a great day scripting!
ok
Lastly as a note: While the client can access things like ReplicatedStorage, so can the server.
