What does it do?
The Thunar Shares Plugin (thunar-shares-plugin) allows you to quickly share a folder using Samba from Thunar (the Xfce file manager) without requiring root access.

Why do I need it?
It makes it simple to share folder through Thunar without the needing to edit config files with root access. Many others file managers have this functionality built in and I believe providing this package will improve the quality of use of Thunar.
