Share folder FROM windows TO Mac

Hi,

Kind of a weird one, perhaps, because there's already a capability to view my Mac files from windows, but I really need to be able to view the contents of my windows filesystem from my Mac (i.e. from Finder).

Our company uses Groove folder shares as a way of sharing certain folders between on-the-move people rather than connect back to a VPN. I can run Groove from within Windows under Parallels, but in order to then edit files on the Mac (as I prefer to do), I need to copy them to a Parallels share folder from Windows, edit them in Mac OS X and then copy them back - a real pain!

Is there any way to do this? Presumably it must be possible "under the hood", as I can drag and drop files from Mac to Windows folders, but how can I mount/get access to this filesystem from Mac OS X?

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Miro
 
Ah... And when might this be due?

Hmm - in the meantime I've figured out a way to do this. I can create a windows networking share of the folder I need to share back to the mac and then mount it as a samba share. Seems to work ok...
