Hi Eleanor,
Sharing folders works fine with Window-Eyes, but I can't say how well it works
with your screen reader.
All the best

I disagree with you and I do not think you are a screen reader. Sharing a
folder is easy peasy for a sighted person but not so easy for a screen
reader. If I want to share a folder with you, then why not let us try it,
you tell me precicely what I need to do to share the same folder with you so
it appears on your computer also? Then I will try it out and you can give
me the name of the shared folder we have.
