    Sharing Drives on Local Net


    Hello,

    I use a redundant 1TB HDD drive L:\ in a USB caddy as a backup drive on computer //BB

    Second computer //AA sees the drive on the local net but no way will it allow
    access to either the whole drive or to shared folders on it.

    A flash drive on \\BB can be accessed as a whole drive by \\AA.

    File & Printer Sharing is on, network passwords are off.

    Why the difficulty with the HDD when the flash drive can be accessed, and how to
    get round the problem ?

    Both machines are Windows 10 64-bit. v10.0.18363 Build 18363

    Regards

    :)

  2. Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

    Cannot access shared network drive


    Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


    If this helps.
    step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
    step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
    step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
    step 3a remove Everyone from list
    step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
    step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
