It's hard to answer your question because you forgot to tell us:

1. What exactly "share a file" means. Let others have access to it? Have
everyone access it at the same time (normally not possible)? Etc.

2. Where the file is located; i.e., C:\Users\your-user\Documents.

3. Details of the file. What is it?

4. What happens "not much" when? When you or the other users do what?

Without any specifics, all I can suggest is if you mean you want all users
on the box to have access to the file, like it is a music file and everyone
can listen separately, just put it in Public.
