you can try to install the "MS Network Client 3.0" - then you can
read/write files from network folders

but you can not write from the host because its only a client
there are some tutorial how to do that with virtualbox, but should also
work with qemu

you can't share an image between two DOSes - because there is no
share-concept available on image/harddisk level

each of the running DOSes will use the drive (and manage its own
internal file cache etc.) without knowing the other

data corruptions will happen as soon someone starts to write (internal
cache invalidation is not promoted the the other DOS for example)
