Windows 10: Shared folders with same accounts on two PCs

If I have an administrator account on two PCs on my local network, both with the same names and passwords, shouldn't they be able to have the same access on each other's PCs?

For example, if I have a shared folder \\PC1\Folder and the local account Bob with the password 123 has full control, shouldn't Bob with the password 123 on \\PC2 also have full control to this folder?

This is how it worked in windows 8 and 7 but I can't get this to work in 10.

I am on a regular workgroup.

Multiple Windows Phones in a business and One Drive

The shared folder is synced.

I shared the camera roll folder from my primary phone in OneDrive using my PC to another phone, different account. Took two pictures using my primary phone.

Opened the OneDrive app on the other phone and the shared Camera Roll folder from my primary phone had updated and the two new pictures are there. Same thing would happen on a desktop.

That is the purpose of sharing OneDrive folders, multiple users seeing and being able to work on the same task.

 

Windows 10: Enter Network Credentials Username and Password for a computer that already has "no password required sharing is enabled"

I have 3 existing Windows 10 PCs. All signing in with the same Microsoft account (user name is hotmail email address). All PCs has following in Advanced sharing settings:

• 
  HomeGroup connections
  
  • 
    Use user accounts and password to connect to other computers
    
• 
  Password protected sharing
  
  • 
    Turn on password protected sharing
    

Shared folder on these computers with permission set to Everyone. All of them can access each other just fine.

Bought a new Windows 10 PC, set up with the same MIcrosoft account.

Then I added a shared folder on the new PC. Any one of the existing PC can access this new PC’s shared folder, but problem is that the new PC cannot access shared folder on any one of the old PC. Windows keeps showing “Enter network credentials” and
“the username or password is incorrect” dialog box.

Researched on Internet and played with different setting, none of them helps.

Then I tried the following and it worked:

• 
  Change all PCs to “Sign in with a local account” and use the same username/password. After that the new PC can access old PC”s shared folder.
  
• 
  Now change all PCs back to “Sign in with Microsoft account”. Interestingly, now the new PC can access shared folder on other PCs.
  

So it looks like new PC has to share with other PCs with *local account* first before sharing with Microsoft account is allowed.

 

You need to be logged in with the account that's on both or pass credentials for it remember there are permissions on NTFS and the share. What error do you get if it doesn't work?

 

I am on the same account. Same username and password. I get a "Windows cannot access path name" error. It doesn't even prompt me to enter credentials. The workaround I've been using which kind of defeats the purpose, is to just give "everyone" permissions to the share which then lets me access it.

On the share I just set it to "everyone" to have full control but wanted to lock it down on NTFS.
