Samba (SMB) is pretty easy to install. Just set it up to share your home folder. Plenty of online tutorials
The sneaky bit is by default Windows disables access and you have to change a policy to enable it.
I like to map a share to my Linuxcnc home folder on a windows box so you can save gcode straight to the ~/linuxcnc/gcode folder from Fusion360 and Sheetcam.

Samba was the next thing I was going to address.
Simple sharing by using the file manager no root intervention required .
Tho if you need file sharing from Linux to Linux NFS is a far far better solution.

I couldn't get wpa_supplicant to work at my site. Being the lazy ass I am I found it easier to just edit the interfaces file.
Then working out I was even more lazier, and I like to enable and disable wifi on the fly, I installed network-manager-gnome.
To be honest I'm thinking that building an update image for the RPi 5 with network-manager might be worth it. If users want to use the gpio driver they'll have to disable it
Why didn't someone read the info with the download ?
1: people are lazy
2: people don't pay attention they just want the instant reward
3: they just download from a link.

I put up a link to the Debian way of setting up networking, but I don't think people read this thread or read a thread from the beginning.
