Windows 10: Add New user for Network Access

How do I add a new user for a folder security icon. When I click on add I get I get the screen below but I can not seem to add a new user. I would like to add a new user name that I can use on my 3 PCs so that can all of the PCs have access to the folder and only the 3 PCs. When ever I create a new name I get a message that the object named cannot be found.


Please advise

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

Cant access my own "users" folder through network

Hi,

After joining the existing network, have you checked if others in the network are now able to access your device or the shared folder under your name? If they are still having issues accessing the shared folder, it could be due to improper folder
Security settings. Check if you were able to give permission to every device in your network to read and write the particular folder. After granting sharing permission to everyone, make sure that the shared folder is accessible from any computer.
Be guided by the steps below:

Step 1: Give sharing permission to everyone

• Right-click on the folder what you want to share.
• In that folder’s Properties, select the Sharing tab and click on the
  Advanced Sharing button.
• Put a check mark next to the Share this folder option.
• Click on the Permission button.
• Now give Everyone the full permission.

Step 2: Make the shared folder accessible from any computer

• Go back to the folder’s Properties window again, select the
  Security tab from the top menu and click on the Edit button.
• Click on the Add button.
• Click on the Advanced button to find the user name.
• Click on the Find Now button to show the list of all available users.
• Find the user name called Everyone from that list, select it and click
  OK.
• You’ll now see the username Everyone shown in the Users and Groups setting. Click
  OK to add this user in the main security list.
• Click on the Everyone, put a check mark next to the
  Full control option, and click Apply.

Keep us updated with the results.
