AFAIK, yes. As long as you setup Samba as a workgroup server and not as
a domain controller, I can't see why the clients should not be able to
connect to a Samba share using good old "net use x: \\<SERVER>\<SHARE>"
just like it would connect to any other shared resource?
You should probably just install samba ("# pkg_add samba") and play
around a bit. The OpenBSD port of samba gives you a head start with the
supplied README file in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg_readmes/.
(Marcus mentions using "the Cloud" and you could experiment with
OwnCloud in ports/packages. OwnCloud offers a native Windows sync client
which works well. However, there seem to be problems with many
files/files larger than 2GB, and there is no GUI client available for
OpenBSD.)
