Would like to share files between 2 Ubuntu machines on the same local network but there is no Browse Network Option on the Ubuntu 16.04 files menu in the launcher.

If you're not particularly worried about encryption as it is within a local network, you can try (assuming you have python installed):

cd /folder/to/share
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Now, with your other machine, you can access that folder with the local IP of the machine you ran the SimpleHTTPServer on with http://LocalIPHere:8000.

Try setting the sharing properties of the folders by right clicking the folder and going into the Sharing Tab
