Raspberry Pi File Sharing

To perform file sharing with Raspberry Pi, I had to install the Samba server. General instruction can be found here:

I had to add a section of my smb.conf file at the end: 
sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

[Share]
comment = guest access share
path = /home/pi/downloads
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes

And restart the Samba server. 

Now everyone can access my /home/pi/downloads directory.
