Beginner Gardening: Boston Fern in Sunny Location, 1 by MonkeyFlower

I recently purchased a Boston Fern in a clay pot and placed it inside (where it does not get any direct sun at all). I've noticed that the tips are browning. It might be that it needs more water, as it's on a high shelf and not easy to get to (so I'm guilty of neglecting to water it). Can I put this plant in my balcony? - my balcony is facing SSE so it gets bright sunlight from about 8am to 2pm. If this is too much, I can put it somewhere where it gets only about 2-3 hours of direct sun. What would be best please? Can it take any direct sun at all?

Thanks!
