Can't access Mac files from bootcamp
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), macOS High Sierra (10.13)
The new APFS (and older CS) volume management encapsulates the HFS+ volume. If your macOS side was not encapsulated and you had the BC6.0 AppleHFS.sys/AppleMNT.sys working, you should be able to see the HFS+ file system on the Windows side as a read-only drive.
On the Windows side, only HFS partitions can be made visible using a BC6.0 driver. It is no longer supported in BC6.1 and higher.
In your case, since you have an APFS container, which contains the Macintosh HD, there is no BC driver to read Macintosh HD inside the container.
Another configuration, on my Mac is,
/dev/disk0 (internal):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 500.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage Macintosh HD 241.4 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 258.0 GB disk0s4
/dev/disk1 (internal, virtual):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD +241.0 GB disk1
Logical Volume on disk0s2
0609ED7D-CB4A-4487-A795-E11C468882A5
Unlocked Encrypted
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *250.1 GB disk2
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS T3-TS-HFS 148.2 GB disk2s2
3: Apple_HFS T3-HighSierra 63.1 GB disk2s3
4: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk2s4
5: Microsoft Basic Data T3FAT 37.6 GB disk2s5
In this, Windows can only read disk2s2 or disk2s5. No other partitions are visible.
Boot into macOS and post the output of the Terminal Command
Diskutil list
It is much easier to explain.
Are you aware of How to switch between Windows and macOS in macOS High Sierra - Apple Support ?
I am not sure I fully understand your comment. Is it possible to expand more on how to see the file system on the windows side?
Ah fair, thanks for the help!
I am, but i am aware that a drive called "Macintosh HD" in "This PC", in windows bootcamp show be shown. This partition is not shown in my bootcamp. It's something that looks like this picture (which is not mine) ****

That is a question for third-party vendors. Apple has not really provided either CoreStorage or APFS details to the software developers to let them write drivers for it.
It is much simpler to carry an external FAT-formatted disk/SD Card and share files.
