Mistaking 'acceso' for the verb 'to access'

Frequently Asked Questions
If 'acceso' is the noun, what is the verb form?
The verb form is 'acceder.' If you want to say 'I access the files,' you say 'Yo accedo a los archivos.' Remember that 'acceso' is only the thing you have (the permission/entry).
Does 'acceso' always mean literal entry?
No. While it can mean a physical entrance (like 'the main access'), it is often used figuratively to mean the ability or permission to reach information, opportunities, or services.
