Connecting a Mac mini to a MacBook air

I just purchased a MacBook Air with an M3 chip. I also have an older (2015) Mac mini. Can I use my MacBook Air to see what’s on my mini? I haven’t used my Mac mini since I bought my first iPad. I know I downloaded pictures to the hard drive on the mini but I don’t which ones. Is it possible see the Mac minis hard drive with my MacBook Air?

iPad, iPadOS 17

I use Screen Sharing and File Sharing to see and move selected files from one Mac mini to another Mac.
