    How do I add a shared folder in Explorer? NOT JUST A LINK!


    My OneDrive suddenly stopped syncing its shared folders from work. It was as if all shared folders were gone, except they were clearly still present on other people's devices.After some troubleshooting as well as trying all the usual stuff, e.g. quitting and restarting OneDrive, rebooting the device, etc. we decided to remove my access to the folders and then send a brand new invitation. This kind of worked, except now I can only access the files through the web client. Before, I could see all available files in Explorer with a little cloud icon to signify that they weren't present on my dev

  2. How to stop sharing folder for windows 10?

    Referring to following link, I would like to know on how to stop sharing folder for windows 10.

    I cannot find Stop Sharing option on step 5.

    Use these steps to stop sharing any folder on Windows 10:

    1. Open Start.
    2. Search for Computer Management and click the top result to open the experience.
    3. Expand the Shared Folders branch from the left pane.
    4. Click the Shares item.
    5. Right-click the folder that you no longer want to share and the Stop Sharing option.
    Furthermore, ADMIN$ is found to be Remote Admin under computer management.

    There is no option to stop it as well.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sharing and remote?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

  3. Windows 10 - Homegroup - Cannot share Folders or files + Error 0x80004005 (renaming of folders)

    Thanks for getting back, Sanjiv. It seems that the users were not configured to have full control of those folders you want to share. We suggest going into the Advanced settings of your File Explorer and adjust the permissions. Follow these steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Locate the folder you want to have full access.
    • Right-click it and select Properties.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Click Edit to change the permissions.

    Once done, try sharing the folders again.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.

    Share folder related "not responding" in Explorer

    20 years ago when you access some shared folder on other PCs that is unaccessible will render your Explorer not responding for a long time, like 10+ seconds.

    For Windows 10 the above problem is solved, but there are still problems related to shared folder.

    (1) If you access some unaccessible shared folder then go to other locations in Explorer, although Explorer won't get not responding, it will pop up unaccessible messages later when you are doing other unrelated things. If the user goes away, the access
    should be canceled.

    (2) When you add some shared folder to quick access list, then when you drag some items in list to reorder them, Explorer becomes not responding again. When I remove all the shared folders from the list, the problem disappears. So I assume this is again
    due to unaccessible shared folders in the list.

    There may be other related problems. The solution is to change all the code to deal with shared folder to an asynchronous way with cancellation.
