I know that I can use a Module to share data between scripts or use a Bindable Object and a Remote Object for Server-Client, so please do not mention those methods, I just want to know the differences between _G and shared.

I know for sure that they aren’t the same Table.

-- You can't do 

shared.Test = 'Test'

-- and do

print(_G.Test)

Output --> nil

according to https://scriptinghelpers.org/questions/19391/shared-vs-_g

There is no difference between shared and _G , they are, effectively, the exact same thing in two separate Tables.

shared is a byproduct of a security update that happened to _G which caused it to be removed for a few weeks. Basically, you didn’t need to add a ‘_G’ prefix to access its members before, and you did after. So shared was created to rectify this, and then a little later we got _G back, but not before a lot of people had already converted.

It’s useful for having two separate Global tables, I guess.
