1. What are you copying? Data or text?

2. Can you give the exact error you get?

.. What are you trying to do when sharing the folder? Any errors you get?

1. Correct, you can only copy text.

2. You can't have a space in the name of the Shared Folder. The path can contain it. It's best to use no special characters when defining a shared folder name. Only use a-z, no uppercase too.
