Set the identity to yes but still have the error:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'db.dbo.Files'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails

It appears you have some nulls in your source data.

If you want to overwrite SQL's identity with the one from Access, you must set the identity insert.

See SET IDENTITY INSERT in BOL.
