The steps are basically:

1 Install Samba

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin

2 Create a folder to share (do not use sudo)

mkdir /home/pi/shared

3 Share the folder by editing smb.conf file

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

[mysambashare]
path = /home/pi/shared
writeable=Yes
create mask=0777
directory mask=0777
public=no

4 Setup a user for the Samba Share

sudo smbpasswd -a mark

This creates a samba user called mark. You will be prompted to enter a password

5.  Restart the samba service

sudo systemctl restart smbd
