I've played with Remove Desktop on a Windows 7 Pro PC in the past, using a laptop also running Windows 7 Pro to remote into the PC. But I am not sure I want to remote into a PC by having the iPad display what the PC is doing. I guess I want the PCs to act as file servers for the iPad. There is no intent to edit these files. Simply viewing and/or listing. Seems like a waste to have to copy these files to the iPad when they already exist on multiple drives assigned to the PCs.

“I have media files”
What type of files. I move media from my android to my wife’s IPAD via my PC using ICloud all the time.

I'll add
Plex to the list.
I use Plex for all of my music, movies and TV shows on all of my devices. I keep a high-end laptop at home on 24/7 with all I want saved there (it acts as a server).
If you have Roku and/or FireTv/FireStick, you can also add Plex there too.
It is
free, but you get more benefits for about $5/month. (hang on.. getting a screencap of price..):
You also get many on demand and live TV/Movies, just like the other streaming services.

VLC, PlayerXtreme, GoPlayer apps on iPad all have WiFi drive, share using wifi options. Simply connect you computer and iPad to the same WiFi router the type the address either iPad app prompts you to into a browser address bar on your computer - something like 192.168.1.35. A page will come up which will let you drag and drop the files from your computer you want into the browser and they will transfer wirelessly to you iPad without needing any apple software. Be aware of the amount of storage available on your iPad.
