With share tab you can share folders or drives on the PC. Security tab is
for setting security for local users AND anyone coming from network e.g.
share.

If you are SURE you set up right your Security settings, then you can allow
Everyone full access on the share! (Although this is NOT the best
practice!!!). Best practice would be e.g. give user Change permission on the
share3 and only Read on Share1 and 2 (depending what you would like to
achieve)...
NTFS Permission on Folder (share1 and 2) should also be Read and on Folder
(share3) should be Full Control.
