Open the parent directory with administrator permission and try again
sudo apt-get install gksu
gksu nautilus /your_complete_path/
then share the folder...

Wow. Just wow. All my 3+ years of searching for an out-of-the-box Samba share solution! The problem? I had to run as root. Shame on you Linux Mint, shame.

The simplest solution would to be to add the stated lines,
usershare owner only = false
to the Global section of the smb.conf file by,
sudo -H gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
then save the file and restart the samba service,
sudo restart smbd
Then try again to share the selected folder

The simplest solution would to be to add the stated lines,
usershare owner only = false
to the Global section of the smb.conf file by,
sudo -H gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
then save the file and restart the samba service,
sudo restart smbd
Then try again to share the selected folder
