    How to share a folder to a specific computer in a local network?

    Hello, good day, let me elaborate on my question:

    Let's say we have 3 computers connected to a local network, Computer A has a folder called "folder 1" and another folder called "folder 2". Computer A wishes to share "folder 1" with computer B and "folder 2" with computer C. Computer B should be able to
    access "folder 1" but not "folder 2" and Computer C should be able to access "folder 2" but not "folder 1". Is this possible in Windows 10?

    Thank you.

    How to add a specific folder to share in a homegroup?

    How do I add a specific folder to share in a homegroup between a Windows 7 and a Windows 10 PC? It seems my only options are to share "My documents" "My Pictures" "My Videos" etc. I have my files(music) in another folder on another disk drive that I
    want to share. I don't want to have to move my music to my C: drive into "My Music" just to be able to share it. How can I just share whatever folder I want between my computers? It seems so complicated.
