Simpler approach for folder sharing through samba - ayanb - 11-14-2017
First time used sharing through linux lite yesterday through Network Share Setting. I think there should be something more simpler approach to that, like a Share option in the context menu. Just select the folder->right click on it->Share->Done
"Network Share Setting" can remain as an option to configure sharing. But it is complex to add lines of codes to that config file to share a folder.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. There was an implementation, but it is unmaintained and still required manual input - https://github.com/xfce-mirror/thunar-shares-plugin

Oh! It's a drawback from xfce side then. Thunar does not have a good 'Share' plug in. Hope xfce devs will put this must needed feature into thunar directly rather than providing a plugin in near future.

Yes. You can always lobby XFCE devs to get back into this plugin.
