Sharing has two modes. Physical (A) and Organised.

Physical (A) is your hard drive structure that is shared. Add Folders to add to the share structure. Once added then you can multi select or single pick files (B) to be better defined (C). Defining files (C) allows for better Browsing and Searching. If you don't Define people will see your shares as a one long list, when Browsing, unless the client sorts by extension or tags.

The Organised Section (A) shows the way you have defined the files and how others will see the files when Browsing.

It's very easy to mass define by multiselecting files and changing the group properties.
