Here’s a drunken rant. I haven’t been able to get any of my machines to share any files whatever. That includes Mint 17.2, 17.3, Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04, 15.10, Lubuntu 14.04, 15.04, Windows 10. Give me the miraculous link that will point me the way or I guess I’m retarded. I would murder samba if I could.

Here’s a direct and nonstandard way, not filled with endless command-line entries:

Download and install a version of Mepis Linux. Put it on all your machines - even dual-boot if you like (I have several machines I do this with).

After you login, right-click on any partition you wish to share and select “properties” “file-sharing”. A small window will pop up asking if you want to run the “filesharing” program. Click yes and select your partition. It will now appear on all computers connected to your local network. Copy and share all you wish. :)

See? No command-lines to memorize and laboriously type out. Right-click and share, right-click again and un-share. Simple.
