As far as I'm aware, this is done via the net command.
However, the help section isn't very helpful, as it only shows me the secondary options and not how to use those.
Suppose I had a folder C:\Share_test
How would I make it shared from the command line?

Launch Command Prompt as administrator. Create folder if not already exist. Share folder using net command. C:\>net share mysharedfolder=c:\shared mysharedfolder was shared successfully.
Creating a Share using Net Share The most basic of commands simply creates the share and assigns a share name. For example: C:\Windows\system32>net share MyFolder=c:\users\bill\MyFolder MyFolder was shared successfully.
Using the "net help share" command you will see that the syntax is as follows:
net share sharename=drive:path For example, if I had a folder S:\Public which I wanted to share as "Public" the command would be:
net share Public=s:\Public The above command will automatically grant "Everyone" with Read permissions only. If you want to grant Everyone with Full Control the command would be:
net share Public=s:\Public /GRANT:Everyone,FULL Keep in mind that NTFS permissions still apply, so even though you might have granted EVERYONE with FULL access to the share, you'll still have to check the NTFS security permissions to ensure that the right people have permission there too.

C:\> net help share
For example:
To share a computer's
C:\Datadirectory with the share nameDataShareand include a remark, type:
net share DataShare=c:\Data /remark:"For department 123."
