Using Shares

Shared folders and directories (which are two names for the same type of resource) are a basic networking tool. Any time two or more people want to collaborate on a project, they can share access to the documents and information files by creating a project share and allowing any member of the group to work on those files.

Your computer displays shared folders and other network resources just like files and folders stored on your own computer, so where the file is actually stored doesn't matter—you can place a shortcut to a share on your desktop and open a shared document or other file with a couple of mouse clicks, just as if the file was stored on your own computer.
