  1. How to share a public read only folder


    I have Hotmail and Office 365 Personal, and use OneDrive.

    .

    I would like to create a public read-only folder.

    .

    Also, I would like to create a public read-write folder.

    .

    The rest should be only accessible by me.

    .

    Is there a special, public PUBLIC OneDrive share URL for each OneDrive account?

    .

    Thanks,

    :)

  2. sharing Public folder

    I have upgraded an old Vista machine to W10. The old machine can read the shared Public folder on my base computer (W10). The new W10 computer can't find the Public folder. I've made all the suggested settings for sharing, but the Public folder from the
    base computer can't be found on the new machine. How do I do this?

  3. Public documents sharing

    My question is how do other computers see it as homegroup window does not list public folders?

    I know how to put files into public it is the next step that I am not understanding in setting up the network/computers etc to see the public folders.

    I have spent a day trying to understand/working out how to do this it is not obvious as the homegroup page only shows library folders that I do not want to share.

    So how do I get the homegroup to show public folders?

    Disable public folders

    Hi,

    A Public folder can be beneficial if regular users have restricted access to specific folders. As you've mentioned, you wanted to at least have the Public folder disabled or turned-off since you were the only user on your computer. To do this,
    please follow the steps below:

    • Type Network and Sharing Center in the Search bar, then press
      Enter.
    • Select on Change advanced sharing settings option located on the left-side of the window.
