sshfs if you want an ad-hoc solution

You could either do it the 'Windows' way and install Samba to share out some folders, or you could use NFS to do it the proper Unix way.

With an in-kernel CIFS client, Samba isn't a bad choice. IMHO, better than NFSv3. – grawity Mar 18 '11 at 22:41
Everything else seems to use CIFS these days, so why not follow the crowd? – Majenko Mar 18 '11 at 22:48

I usually keep files synced between my Linux, Windows and Android devices by using Dropbox.

It may be a dirty solution, but it works fine.

You could use a network file system eg AFS, though that might be overkill. Have you considered a separate file server? Personally I'd use version control (git, mercurial) and sync from a remote repository, unless your files are too large to manage that way.
