Windows 10: Shared Folder Security: Permissions

So, I have shared my local disk in Network Sharing Center and in that disk there is folder containing my private files and I don't want other network users accessing them. So I tried to deny access by going to Properties>Advanced Sharing>Permissions but I cannot see any of the network users in the "Group or user names" tab. And I went to Add>Advanced>Find Now but I tried to search for a specific user not local but I cannot find them. And I only have my PC name in the location tab. How do I add a user not local and restrict permissions? I have their account names and passwords.

vistas sharing permissions... help needed

First make sure "Use Sharing Wizard" is disabled under Folder Options.

Then when you setup the share, set the permissions on the sharing tab, but also you have to set the permissions on the security tab.

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.
