Windows 10: How do I share a folder/drive over a Windows 10 hotspot?

Title says all, I want to share either a partition or a folder on my win10 desktop over the win10 hotspot feature (action centre > mobile hotspot) so that I can access it from my mac laptop connected to the same hotspot. I am asking here because the information i found via google was sporadic and out of date



Bonus points:

- what if the partition is hfs+ how do i share that

- should I keep using the windows 10 hotspot feature to share my desktop's lan connection with my mac or is there a better alternative, especially one that lets me share files and folders

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

How to stop sharing folder for windows 10?

Referring to following link, I would like to know on how to stop sharing folder for windows 10.

I cannot find Stop Sharing option on step 5.

Use these steps to stop sharing any folder on Windows 10:

1. Open Start.
   
2. Search for Computer Management and click the top result to open the experience.
   
3. Expand the Shared Folders branch from the left pane.
   
4. Click the Shares item.

Furthermore, ADMIN$ is found to be Remote Admin under computer management.

There is no option to stop it as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sharing and remote?
