I’m trying to connect from my iPad to a windows 10 share on my PC, but keep getting the error message - “The file couldn’t be saved because a file with the same name already exists.”
I’m not trying to save, or copy a file - I just want to connect to the share.
Any ideas please?
Windows, Windows 10
Hello OBLtd,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
We understand from your post that you have not been able to connect your iPhone to your computer to share files from the Files app. If everything is set up as described under the section titled, "Connect to a computer or file server", and the issue persists, you may need to contact Microsoft support for additional assistance.

Another option is to use iTunes to share files between your computer and your iPadOS device as described in this article:

This answer is no help. I’m only have the problem on certain windows PCs, not all.
The Apple error message in my screen shot shows the error being generated at the iPad end of the connection.
Can anyone else please help?
You may want to contact Apple Support if the articles provided were of no help.
