Well, now that I've spoken up for samba, let me amend my thoughts slightly ... Yes, I think nfs would be easier, but I've usually run into problems getting nfs supported on Windows when I've tried to do that. However, now that bash and apt-get has come to Windows 10, maybe this will get much easier? That's worth exploring, imo. PS: I'm not aware the Windows 10 update which provides bash and apt-get is out yet, but it's due very soon, if not already out.
