Just so you know, Server 2012r2 has reached end of support in October 2023, there will be no security updates for this version.
For just a file share, Open Media Vault or Truenas would be choices and both are really free. As mentioned any Linux/BSD OS could be set up to do this.
If you don't care about legalities, there are many sites on the web that will sell you newer keys for cheap. They are supposed to be 100% legal, but I have my doubts when they are selling things like Windows LTSC IoT keys which are not even something I can get in my company's A5/E5 account.
