You want to give access remotely (from Internet) to a file share on your Windows Server ?

\\Public_IP\Myshare ?

Even if it would be possible, i would not recommend to do this.

  1. For security issue... you open an access to your Windows Server with a file share access (not a good idea)

  2. the required ports for file share (SMB) is TCP 445. I'm not sure if your ISP enable this incoming port

What you could do is configure a VPN between your computer and your environment and then access the \\my.re.al.ip\share_path through the VPN
This should work and it will be more secure

And to the question if it's require a feature, the answer is yes, the FS-FileServer role.

You can install it using Powershell --> Add-WindowsFeature -Name FS-FileServer -IncludeManagementTools
