setup samba with 'sudo apt install samba'
setup a folder that you wana share (ex: /mnt/media1)

now, in windows explorer right click on 'This PC' and press 'Map Network Drive'
enter in the ip and share name (ex: 'xxx.xxx.x.xx/sharename')
enter in username (root) and password that you set when we did the 'smbpasswd -a' command.
