How to create a share of Kodi folder on 8.0.1 for accessing from win 10 client?

I have the Aeon MQ 7 skin installed on the Kodi 17.1. I want to modify/add some backgrounds to the master and other profiles. I need a share for the kodi folder to access the skin from a windows 10 laptop.

I have enabled the Samba and was able to access some default shares along with the external drives. But these shares does not contain kodi folder.

I am a windows person and have negligible knowledge of linux. I need some pointers in creating the shares with full read/write/delete permissions for kodi folder and also for other folders on the android partition.

Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks.

Via smb, go to the configfiles folder and find samba.conf.sample
Rename it to samba.conf and edit to create a share for /storage/.kodi
Reboot

Thanks for the tip. I have modified the samba.conf file to have one share which is /storage and deleted all the other shares. With this one share I can access all the other removed share folders and remaining folders.
