Why I'm unable to create a sharing folder?

[uzumakifahim]

I have 2 PC's installed Linux Mint 17.X and Ubuntu 16.04 respectively. Now I want to share a folder between these 2 PCs. I've followed the following steps :

1. Right click on the folder I want to share.
2. Select "Sharing options".
3. Select "Share this folder" and "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder".
4. And click "Create share".

After this folder icon has also been changed. But unfortunately I'm not getting this folder to other PC to access.
How to solve this issue. Please help.

Why not start with the Mint machine:

From that machine run the following command and post it's output:

net usershare info --long

In the mean time:
[1] Run this command to find the exact host name of your Mint box:

hostname

[2] On the Ubuntu machine open a terminal and run:

nautilus smb://hostname.local

Change hostname to the Mint host name you found in step 1 - and don't forget to add the .local at the end.
