Windows 10: large video file sharing

I have several large 25GB video files on an external drive attached to my W10 PC. Instead of uploading them to a cloud folder, is there a way to share them over a WiFi home network with another PC or device? How will the other device locate/discover a shared link? Must the other device be running Windows? thank you

:)

Files & Folders View as medium or large Icons

To assist you better, we would suggest that you try to follow the steps below:

• Open File Explorer.
• Once you are viewing a folder, right click an empty space within the File Explorer window and select View from the dialogue menu, then choose Large or any icon you wanted to use. Alternatively, you can use the following shortcut keys on the keyboard to
  change your View settings:

• CTRL + SHIFT + 1 Extra Large

3. Once you have the view set, you can make it the default view for

every folder.

4. Click Apply, then click OK.
