Assuming your network is set up properly, it is easy to share files/folders on your network. With Windows, simply do the following:
- In Windows Explorer, find the folder you want to share on your network.
- Right-click on the folder and choose "Sharing and Security". The Folder properties will open and the "Sharing" tab will be pre-selected.
- Under "Network Sharing and Security", check "Share this folder on the network".
- If you want remote PCs to be able to save files to this folder, check "Allow network users to change my files".
- Hit OK.
The folder icon will change to have a little hand holding the folder. This means it is a shared folder. Now, you can browse your network from another network computer and should be able to find this folder across the network and access it.
