    Need help with sharing can only access one out of 3 drives on network


    if anyone can possibly give me some insight on my problem I will tell you what I have done. I have 3 drives

    1tb barracuda Seagate internal (Cant access this one )
    3tb external Seagate ( I can access this one)
    5tb external Seagate (Cant access this one)

    I have unplugged both external drives and I'm just trying to get the one internal drive to work over the network.
    I can see all the drives and can only access one of them the 3tb external witch I unplugged for now so I can work on getting the internal 1tb working. This might be a catch to the problem but I am using a Samsung galaxy s6 edge phone to access my network and be able to transfer and stream content it works with my 3tb external but wont work with the other drives? Well that's my problem I'm hoping someone can help me. I have went threw all the file and print sharing stuff and nothing seems to work. I thought it might have been a USB problem but since I unplugged the other 2 external drives I don't see that as an issue now. Well thanks in advance and any insight would help....

    :)

    Flashing Desktop, on and off

    So the computer started flashing again.. on wifi.

    I guess that ruled out the lan port...

    So more details about the network:

    We have one computer that acts as a server where all the company files are stored. There are 3 folders under "Documents" that I have shared. On that server computer I have 3 user accounts, one is what the client uses and the other 2 I named network user
    & network user 2.

    So the 3 users on this "server" computer are:

    Office (client uses this user to work on computer)

    Network User

    Network User 2

    Out of the 3 folders that are shared, one is shared to "network user"; another one is shared to "network user" & "network user 2" and the 3rd folder is a folder for the owners which is only shared with the
    Main user account.

    Now, on the computer where the desktop is flashing/blinking, I used the "network user" credentials so this employee only has access to one folder. So I have a mapped network drive pointing to that folder.

    The other computers on the network are set up the same way, and vary which user credentials they have, depending what they need access to.

    No other computer on the network is having issues.

    Is there something wrong with the "server" computer that holds all the files? When I restart the "server" computer, the flashing stops on the problem computer.. Very frustrating!

  3. How do I set a network drive as the default save location?

    Hi,

    You can use a network drive to have easier access to shared folders on a network, but you need to have the correct permission granted to access the network shared drive first. So, for you to set a network drive as default save location, please follow the
    steps from this article:
    Map a network drive
    .

    Let us know if you need further assistance regarding this concern.
