Hello CSCO, It is correct, the switch will not stop you from file sharing unless you have created an access list prohibiting this.
So it begs the question; If you connect a computer in the same VLAN, are you able to access those file shares?
This is most likely a firewall, domain policy, or file sharing network configuration within the Window hosts.
