I say "somewhat easy" because, at least in my experience, the main reason for sharing a repos through a network share is not being able to setup a server to host the main repo. Fossil allows easy peer-to-peer sync between the team members currently connected to the team's network (such as the office network in the case of a business). Any member offline has to rely on other team members to get caught up. Currently, at my office, I have a second PC that is server as the de facto main repo server for my team. But I only have that PC because I volunteered to be the first (in the office) try Win7, 3 years ago, so IT let me keep the XP PC I had. By the time all the tools and applications were updated for Win7, the old PC was considered obsolete, so IT has no use for it. I have since installed Debian Testing on it.
