Windows 10: How to selectively share files via network on different PCs in v1803?

Hi all,

After upgrading to 1803 on all my computers, I can't seem to figure out a way to share files selectively between the PCs. We were using HomeGroup to contain the files to specific PCs, thus, requiring a "password."

However, we haven't found a real solution to selectively share. All the solutions points to sharing the files to "Everyone" on the network. If I try that method, I can share files easily. However, for security reasons, I want to restrict access to certain PCs on my network and not just simply anyone that uses our LAN.

The way we're set up now is one PC is hosting the files and trying to share it with a few other multiple PCs. Is there a way we can "give access" to certain PCs on out network? We've tried every method but it seems to be not working.

:)
