How to share folders over the network in Xubuntu 18.04?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I could easily do it in previous version, but now I'm getting error: Unable to start "gksu system-config-samba". I googled, found solution, system-config-samba opens, I add folder to share (read & write), but even though I cannot access it. Also I used nautilus-share and added the folder. Doesn't work too.
I can't find any article that would explain how to share folders in this version of Xubuntu.

Edit your original post and add the ouptut of the following commands: "testparm -s" and "net usershare info --long". Are the clients to this machine running Windows ( and if so which versions ) or are they running Linux or MacOS.
