How To See MacOS Shared Drives/Folders in Windows Explorer Network

At home I have a Mac Mini that shares a few drives and folders. From my Windows 11 PC, is there a way to get the shares to be discovered in Windows Explorer in the Network section? I can access the shares by IP and map a drive from the PC, but would prefer that the MacOS shares are discoverable within Windows Explorer on the PC.


Thanks.

Mac mini, macOS 12.0

There's a version of iCloud Drive for Windows (works at least in Windows 10) so you could set up a "shared folder" in iCloud between the Mac and a Windows PC.
