Windows 10: Sharing folders - Credentials

Hello everyone!

I have a problem with sharing some folders.

On my PC I have set 3 folders to share. One for personal data and other two for sharing pictures and videos.
Folders with pictures and videos are shared that anyone on network can open the folder and browse the pictures but they can't delete them.

On my personal folder I have set permission to only me (windowslive account). Only my account can view the contents, edit and delete data.

My question is how can I access to my folder from different PC on LAN? I have tried to setup some credentials but it's not working. I can access other two folders but not this one. I have tried to access my folder from Android phone (ES File Manager) with success. I have set server as my PC's IP (192.168.11.2), username as "username@windowslive.com" and password for that windowslive account.

How can I set those credentials on other computers on LAN to access my folder?


Thank you!

:)

 

Windows 10 Network Sharing

I am using the latest version of Windows 10.

I frequently access a remote shared folder.

In order to access it I use Windows explorer to enter user credentials (username and password) and tick a box which should allow those credentials to be remembered.

However there are two issues:

1. Every time I want to access the shared folder (e.g. from MS Word) I have to re-enter the user credentials.

2. Every time I restart my computer I have to re-enter the user credentials to re-attach the remote folder as a shared drive

How can I get windows 10 to remember the entered user credentials to achieve automatic re-connect at start up and remove the need to re-enter the user credentials whenver I want to access the shared folder?

 

Windows 10 Credentials

Trying to access a shared folder on another PC. Up till the other day it was always working. Today it's asking me for credentials. I enter the username and password of the PC that the shared folder is on but the pop window tells me that the credentials
are wrong. I then go to that PC, enter exactly the same credentials and I am allowed access.

 

To specify that you want to use your account on the host PC (rather than a local account) you must put the PC's network name or IP address on the login, such as:

hostname\username or 192.168.11.2\username

Also I am not sure if you can use a Microsoft account. You may have to create a local account and use that instead.

 

Thanks! That worked when I mapped network drive. I used 192.168.11.2\Username and password.

Do you know maybe if it is possible to set credentials too? I have tried many different ways but no luck.
I clicked on Add a Windows credential and under:

Internet or network address I set: 192.168.11.2
Username: Username of windowslive account
Password: Password of windowslive account

 

No I haven't done it before, sorry.
