I began a test file with around ten images. I opened it for sharing as described, then saved the link and entered it into the "connect to server" field on the Files app on my iPad. Despite adjusting all settings and confirming network details, it still doesn’t work. Is there a need to connect using an IP address instead of the provided link? Are there any options to access the Windows server from my iPad? Thanks for your assistance!
