Is it possible, to share a hard disc (or a part of it) in ADFS format over the Internet with other - or may be all - RISC OS users?
In general, no. ShareFS is strictly a local protocol.
It would in theory be possible to run Moonfish as an NFS server and then
allow NFS access from the internet. It would be strongly inadvisable to
make that writeable, since your HDD will rapidly fill up with illegal
content, but even if read only you're likely to find the machine soon
under attack by people trying their luck.
It is possible to 'share' a HDD image as a file, for example one created by RPCEmu, as a regular download from a website. Obviously doing it in that
way the downloaders would have to get the whole thing and it wouldn't update unless they downloaded it again. So that's probably not what you meant.
Another option would be a 'cloud' filesystem like CloudFS - I'm not familiar with PCloud which is the company they use for the cloud storage, but many of those allow you to make some files on your cloud storage public.
Or, if you had another machine (Windows, Linux, Mac etc) you could run a
cloud client like Dropbox, Onedrive, iCloud, etc and then share that over
your local network to your RISC OS machine, using LanMan98 or Sunfish to
update the files which are stored on the Windows/etc machine.
