Guest or everyone file sharing?

[Guest]

What is the difference between guest and everyone?
How safe is Guest and how safe is everyone in file sharing on my local
network? Can anyone see these other than the trusted computers?

Guest is a single account name, that is a member of the group Everyone. With a
resource open to Guest, if any one person connected can access it, then any
person connected can access it.
