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.

My VM was updating so could not install samba until now:

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.
