No.  You can however share Zip disks if you have an
SCSI card on the Apple IIGS and the PC's Zip drive
is the SCSI model.

The German company ///SHH Systeme also makes
a controller card for the Apple II that lets it use PC
5.25 (360k and 1.2M) and 3.5 (720k, 1.44M, and
2.88M) floppy disk drives on the Apple II.  Naturally
with this controller, you can share stuff between
a PC and the Apple II using MS-DOS disks.

If you can find a PC Transporter (a coprocessor card
for a hardware/software IBM XT emulator for the
Apple II), it'll actually get your Apple II 3.5 drive to
read and write MS-DOS floppy disks.
