Mac's file sharing is very similar to a PC. So you can setup a network, crossover cable or tennis shoe express (usb pin drive). All work just pick one.

On the Mac there is a file share CP if I recall, been several months since I've been on a OSX machine.

If you connect a Mac (OS-X 3.9 or later - maybe some earlier, but I know for sure 3.9 or later) to an existing PC workgroup network with shared folders, the Mac will automagically (or nearly so) "find" the PC network's shares and attach to them.

Also, as Blue said, USB drives can be easily shared between Macs and PCs.

I have no experience with PCs having access to folders on the Mac. But the Mac accessing folders on the PCs is easier than another PC accessing them.
