You need to allow sharing of folders. I suggest you use Public on both Windows and GNU/Linux for sharing and security:

When you click on 'share this folder' you will be prompted to install 'samba' which is needed to share with Windows.

If you don't require passwords - only share non-sensitive stuff, do as per picture. Once sharing of folder is enabled you will see 'share' icon above the folder.
