Many offices have different types of computers being used for a variety of different purposes, and often in an office you’ll find Macs and Windows computers working alongside each other.
However, this can prove problematic when you want to share files with other people. But thankfully, there’s a way you can share folders across the two operating systems.
On the Mac machine, you need to open the Sharing preferences panel in System Preferences. From there, under the internet and wireless heading, you need to click on “Sharing”.
In the new panel, select the “file sharing” option and then add the folders that you want to share. After that, press the options button, and there you will be able to tick an option to make your folders available on Windows machines.
