Windows 10: File sharing issue on a local Network

I have 2 computers at home running windows 10, same microsoft login


Now when I'm connect to my personal LAN I would like to have both computers being able to browse each others files,

so I can use the local network to transfer files both ways


I tried giving all persmissions to every users, for the hard drive, for separate folder etc, both computers

Every sharing option is set to sharing, no password protection


Right now both computers can see each others folders, but only one will have access to the other,

the other way around there's a permission error.


How to fix this?

file sharing over local network issues

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community, we understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve the issue.

I would suggest the following to resolve the issue you are faced with.

Method 1: Windows can't detect a computer on a Public network. To fix this problem, you can try changing the network location to Home or Work or try connecting to a network that already has a Home or Work network location.

Method 2:

If Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol is disabled on the network adapter. Windows uses the LLTD protocol to map computers and devices on a network. To enable LLTD, follow these steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start menu and select
  Control Panel. In the search box, type adapter, and then, under
  Network and Sharing Center, click View network connections.
  
• 
  Right-click the network connection, and then click Properties.
  
• 
  Select the Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver and
  Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder check boxes, and then click
  OK.
  

[*]
Method 3: To turn on network discovery, follow these steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start menu and select
  Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click
  Network and Sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click
  Change advanced sharing settings.
  
• 
  Click the drop down icon to expand the Home or Work network profile.
  
• 
  Click Turn on network discovery, and then click
  Save changes. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  

Hope this information helps.
