I don't want to plug a USB into the server. So any kind of app that offers such functionality is fine as long as it can run on windows or linux. If my question is cringy, please note that I am very much new to this stuff. Thanks in advance!

Depends on what the OS is but you can just make a network share. If you use Linux then search up Samba, it's easy to set up and works great. There's lots of tutorials to do it on Windows as well but sharing folders in windows is pretty weird to me.
