במשרד אמרו שאפשר לגשת לקובץ גם דרך הטלפון וגם דרך המחשב.

במשרד literally means in the office, but in English it often corresponds to at the office.

Hebrew often puts a place expression first to set the scene:

• במשרד אמרו... = At the office, they said...

You could also say אמרו במשרד..., but starting with במשרד gives the location a little more prominence.

This is a very common Hebrew pattern.

אמרו is literally they said, but Hebrew often uses the 3rd person plural as an impersonal form, like:

• they said
• people said
• it was said

So here it does not necessarily mean a specific known group. It can simply mean that this is what was said at the office.

שאפשר is made of two parts:

• ש־ = that
• אפשר = it is possible / one can / can

So:

• אמרו שאפשר... = they said that it’s possible...
• more naturally in English: they said that you can...

A key point: אפשר is an impersonal word. Hebrew does not need a subject like it here. So אפשר by itself already means it is possible.

Because Hebrew does not need one here.

In English, we say:

• it is possible

But in Hebrew, אפשר already carries that meaning by itself. It is an impersonal expression.

So:

• אפשר לגשת = it is possible to access
• or more naturally, you can access

This is very normal in Hebrew.

לגשת is the infinitive of the verb ניגש.

In many contexts, ניגש means approach or go up to, but in modern Hebrew it is also used for access, especially in technical or digital contexts.

So here:

• לגשת לקובץ = to access the file

This is a standard and useful expression in computer-related Hebrew.

Because the verb לגשת normally requires the preposition ל־.

So Hebrew says:

• לגשת ל... = to access / approach ...

Therefore:

• לגשת לקובץ = to access the file

This ל־ is not optional here. It is part of the verb pattern.

The pattern גם ... וגם ... means both ... and ...

So:

• גם דרך הטלפון וגם דרך המחשב means
• both through the phone and through the computer

A single גם can mean also, but when it appears twice in this structure, it means both ... and ...

Because Hebrew often repeats the preposition with each item in a both ... and ... structure.

So:

• גם דרך הטלפון וגם דרך המחשב

literally keeps the same structure for both parts:

• also through the phone and also through the computer

This repetition sounds natural and clear in Hebrew. It is similar to English repeating through or via for balance.

Here דרך means through, by way of, or via.

So:

• דרך הטלפון = through the phone / via the phone
• דרך המחשב = through the computer / via the computer

In this sentence, דרך describes the means or channel used to access the file.

ה־ is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• הטלפון = the phone
• המחשב = the computer

In Hebrew, it is very normal to use the definite form in expressions like this, especially when talking about familiar devices or general access methods. English may sometimes sound more natural with phone and computer without the, but Hebrew often keeps them definite.

So even if English might say:

• via phone and computer or
• via the phone and the computer

Hebrew naturally says:

• דרך הטלפון ודרך המחשב

Sometimes learners expect approach/access to use אל, because ניגש אל can mean approached toward in some physical contexts.

But with the meaning access a file/system/document, modern Hebrew very commonly uses:

• לגשת ל־

So:

• לגשת לקובץ is the natural phrasing here.

For digital access, לגשת ל־ is the form you should learn.

It is mostly neutral, natural modern Hebrew.

A few notes:

• אמרו שאפשר... is everyday and common.
• לגשת לקובץ is standard modern usage, especially in technical or workplace contexts.
• גם דרך הטלפון וגם דרך המחשב is clear and natural.

So this sentence would fit well in ordinary spoken Hebrew, workplace Hebrew, and written practical communication.
