hello, I am trying to find a way where an onpremise server such as a file server is able to accept azure AD credentials but itself not being azure AD joined.

we are moving new devices do azure AD and still require local server access for files etc.

the server would be joined to a domain and said domain would be AD synced to 365 and azure.

    You can try setup trust between Azure AD and local AD.
    Also you can try use Azure Files sync feature for files accessibility.
