Sharing folders problems

Support & Help Requests

Hello everyone! I need some help getting my Ubuntu MATE 16.04.3 OS to share folders. When I click on a folder that I would like to share, there is no “local share option” when I right click. Is there a way to share folder?

Thank you for your help!

That's the thing I don't have the option "Sharing Options" in the context menu.

You installed caja-share, logout, login, and right-click on a folder does not show Sharing Options ?

what does apt-cache policy caja-share show?
