Just let me add my 2 cents to the discussion saying that whatever name you are going to choose here, it should be non technical at all from the user POV.<div>So, please let "samba", "smb" or similar out of it. "Windows" is borderline. My mother knows that it is referred to something computer related. :)<br>

Windows itself refers to this by "network share", I think.<br>
However, what I was wondering is: if a user does not understand those terms,<br>
would that user use these shares? Or would that user just use the link or<br>
shortcut he got from the system administrator? Because I am not sure if my<br>
mother would understand the whole concept of sharing anyway -- ok, I am telling<br>
a lie here, my mother is an IT professional, but that is not the point. ;)<br>
