AFAIK, one has nothing to do with the other. To my understanding, Microsoft didn’t intend to when it first came up with NTFS. I am not sure if they have made optimizations related to each other in the future.

Do file systems, like NTFS, have any link with networking modes like Domain or Workgroup ?

You don’t need a user account on the others computer to get access to files.You can have folders with a open access to everyone.

A workgroup and a domain are basically networked computers, with the main
difference being that a domain provides a centralized directory database.

Workgroup
=========
Advantages:
- Does not need a Windows 2000/2003 Server
- Simple to design and implement. No extensive planning and administration
that a domain requires.
- Great for a limited number of computers (usually no more than 10
computers) in close proximity.

Disadvantages:
- A user needs a user account on each computer that he/she requires access.
- Changes to user accounts, such as changing a user’s password or adding a
new user account, must be made on each computer in the workgroup.
- Device and file sharing is handled by individual computers, and only for
the users that have accounts on each individual computer.

Domain
=======
Advantages:
- Centralized administration. Change to a user account is automatically
replicated throughout the domain.
- Single logon process for users to gain access to network resources, such
as file, print, and application resources for which they have permissions.
- Provides scalability to create large networks.

Disadvantages:
- Need a 2000/2003 Server.
- More complex in design and implementation.

Computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between workgroups and domains is how resources on the network are managed. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on workplace networks are usually part of a domain. In a domain One or more computers are servers whereas in workgroup all computers are peers. To use any computer in the workgroup, you must have an account on that computer. But you can log on to any computer on the domain without needing an account on that computer. In a workgroup, there are typically no more than ten to twenty computers whereas in domain, there can be hundreds or thousands of computers. Finally all computers must be on the same local network or subnet in a workgroup and in a domain the computers can be on different LANs.
