Question Best program for house network file sharing?

[stethnorun]

I'm looking for the best option to file-share across a home network. Basically, the same kind of deal that Windows is supposed to allow naturally, but not using Windows. And I don't mean in a dropbox or something. I'm saying just designating certain drives or certain folders as "shared" and then every PC in the house can access it.

The same file can be accessed via multiple different protocols.

Exactly.

One of the folders in my NAS is recipes.

Accessed by Windows, or while I'm cooking, from an Amazon Fire tablet.
