In this video, we will configure a macOS machine to share files with a P.C. on the same network running Windows. The configuration used here works on both physical machines and virtual machines of the type created in our VirtualBox series.

We begin by enabling file sharing and configuring permissions within macOS, before moving over to Windows and entering the necessary path and credentials to access the shared drives. Finally, for ease of future access, we map the shared folders as network drives in Windows.
