You can find this in the settings for vmware in the toolbar of the active virtual machine, in the menu under Virtual Machine or just hit Command-E. Sharing should be the second button in settings. Make sure Enable Shared Folders is checked then VO-right twice to the Add button. From there you pick what folder on your Mac you want to appear as a folder on your virtual windows machine. Once added, log into your virtual windows machine and you should find a shortcut on your desktop called VMWare Shared Folders. Inside there you should find a sub-folder named the same as the Mac directory you added.

Hope this helps.

Or just setup a shared folder between yoru fusion vm and the mac host.

  There should be an option in the Fusion system to setup a shared drive

I've just done this with virtual box on a windows 7 vm and sierra host

I used the shared folder on the mac os as the host end and then specified a new 
folder name that vb created on the windows 7 desktop

I then put things in to either and they show up on the other.

Very simple
Sorry I can't tell you exatly where this is in fusion but it is there.

You may wish to use dropbox on both mac and windows to share files or google 
drive.
