Plug each of your devices into your ethernet network and follow each manufacturers instructions. For Raspberry Pi, search "How do I get Raspberry Pi on my network?". In general, start with wired connections before attempting wifi.– OyaMistCommented Jun 18, 2018 at 16:15

Install the samba server:
rpi ~$ sudo apt update
rpi ~$ sudo apt full-upgrade
rpi ~$ sudo apt install samba
It description (apt show samba) says:
SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems.
Edit /etc/smb.conf and configure the server to your needs. There are some examples in it and you get tons of information for this on the internet.
To connect a linux client to a smb share you need smbclient and/or cifs-utils.
