Haha... Yes you will be able to share files between the computers connected to the hub. It is alittle more complicated then that although. To put it very simple you must specify the same workgroup on each computer on the hub. Then you must specify which folder you want to share by going into my computer and right clicking on the folder and click share. These are just the basics but it seems like you'll need more detalied instruction. I know there is a walkthrough on tomshardware.com go take a look around there for more.
