I have a second hard drive in my Mac and I would like to share it with Windows file sharing. I can't find a way to do this. Windows sharing only shares files that are in my user (i.e. ~) directory.

There should be a way to do this. Is there?

Add an alias of whatever you want to share in the user folder.

The alias won't resolve.

Try SharePoints (freeware).
