This is very needed feature for pantheon-files. Because user could make fast samba shares without wondering with Samba.

Perhaps this would work better as a little applet + a contract.
I am wondering about how to ensure samba is there when the app needs it. Should we:
Thoughts?

in a folders preferences in the tab "more" is space, maybe this whould be a good place. left could be the" rights" and right "sharing". if samba is not installed, there could only be a button "install samba".

I'm writing this sharing option since yesterday, I choose, as davidak said, to put these options in a folder preferences, but in its own "Share" tab, and I decided to only show this tab if samba is installed, and if you selected ONLY ONE folder at time. I'd like to have everyone's advices to ensure my way is also the other's devs way and to be sure these are the rights choices. So I'll just ask a few questions: 1 Should we ask for root password ? I mean, samba is root-only, but sharing needs to be available to everyone, doesn't it ? 2 Should we also access the "Share" preferences tab thru a rightclick menu entry ? Because user shouldn't have to search this option. 3_ Should we provide minimal config options like the ability to share something in "public", "protected" or "read-only" mode ? Or should we provide a lot of possibilites and a full panel of options ? (Or no options at all).

I'm going to unmark this particular report as affecting Files since it has a bounty and I'd like the bounty to exclusively apply to creating a samba shares section in the sharing plug.

Attached the beginnings of a folder sharing plug. Looks like it needs some greater technical expertise though. See comments on the MR

Just don’t forget to add the fruit code of accessing those share folder MacOS will be slow AF IK because I’ve tried every single samba fix available for linux related to MacOS.
Elementary OS should Share the user entire home folder by default like Mac OS dose if the user login using the username & password that they use to logging to there computer physical, via SSH or ftp, & broadcast public folder of every user on the machine if where if the user login using the username & password that they use to logging to there computer physical, via SSH or ftp. same apply to the file manager.
There should be an easy-peasy way to share a folder on the local network. Lifehacker has a rundown of how this is done on Mac OS and WIndows for reference: http://lifehacker.com/5808814/how-to-share-a-folder-over-your-network-for-beginners/all
