Windows 10: Can't access shared folders on Windows 10 that uses MS account sign-in

I have exactly the same problem as is in this post:Sharing between Microsoft account and local account - Microsoft CommunityI have followed the tutorial and it does not work.

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.

 

Share Folder Permissions with MS Accounts

Hey,

So I am trying to test out something in regards to sharing, and so I have set up my PC1 & PC2 User to be shared.

Both Users are using my MS Account (rather Local).

But I don't want anybody but MY Account to access the sharing, so I went to Advanced Sharing of the User Folder on PC1, got the folder to share, went to Permissions, the default was "Everyone" with Read Checked.

So I then removed "Everyone" User, clicked add, and went to Advanced and got it to find all the users, it sure enough shows my MS Account User.

I clicked that one and it was now in the list, I gave it Full Control.

Applied it all.

Went to Network on PC2, I can now see the User Folder I shared. I double click, it says I dont have permission! Doesn't even ask for Credential Sign in, which is what is set in the Network & Sharing Centre.

I even tried other users on PC1, but PC2 wont get access unless I have it set to "Everyone", which I dont want.

What is wrong?

I might add though, it could be something specific to PC1, coz I did the same thing on PC2 for PC2 User that is tethered to my MS Account, and PC1 accesses it just fine!?
