Windows 10: Offline files + shares on W10

Any idea where the problem is with shares on W10 and Offline files ??
I have 2 W10 (1909) computers. First is in workgroup and second is in domain. I share folders on workgroup comp. From domain computer I can access those shares without problems, just I put login and password of account from workgroup computer and that's it. But when I try to use Offline Files for one of the shares and set the share to have all files available offline on domain computer, this causes the problem. After setting Offline Files feature files are synchronized to domain computer from the one in workgroup perfectly, but after restarting the domain computer I loose access to shares on workgroup computer, I'm unable to connect to shares anymore, offline files are available but not synchronizing anymore by mobsync.exe etc. I got 0x80004005 error message and If I wanna map network drive to one of the shares I get message as something somewhere is currently mapped using a different user name and password.

Offline files not syncing

Hi Ramsha,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.



This could be due to the incorrect caching set for the network folder. You may want to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Open Share Properties
  of the network folder and click on Advance sharing.
  
• Choose Caching and select
  No files or programs from the shared folder are available offline.
  
• Save the changes and reboot the machine to see if it works.
  

Hope it helps.

W7 access of W10 share

On my home network W10 systems can access shares on other W10 systems, and W10 can access W7 shares. However, when W7 tries to access a W10 share, it wants a network password. I give it the user/pswd I use to log in on the W10 but that doesn't help.

I found one place:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/cannot-access-shared-folder-windows
that suggested setting HKLM...Lsa\restrictanonymous to 1
but that didn't seem to help.

TIA!
