Windows 10: Trying to share a drive on small network. Full control to Everyone in the share permissions...

I have a desktop windows 10 and a laptop windows 11 that I have connected to a 10/100 switch. Network discovery is turned on. I am able to share and access specific folders with no issue, but when I try and share a hard drive, in this case my H: drive, I get a prompt that says I don't have certain permissions. The advanced share settings are set to "Everyone" and "Full Control". Same as the folders, so I am unsure as to what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Permission issue, shared drive Windows 10.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We can understand your concern. However, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

1. May I know the exact error message?
   
2. Have you shared all hard drives or any particular folder within the particular hard drive?
   

Since you have mentioned that you are getting error related to permission issue, please refer to the troubleshooting steps provided by “Azee N” dated June 2nd 2010 on
Providing permission to drive and try
providing permission to the drive.

If the issue still persists, we would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to re-map the drive.

1. Disconnect the drive by right click on the drive and select disconnect (if the drive is mapped).
   
2. Then re-map the drive by referring to Map a network drive
   and check if it resolves the issue.
   

Regards,

 

vistas sharing permissions... help needed

What I don't understand the following:

Firewalls= Off
Ownership = Him
NTFS Security Permissions = Allow user, full control set
Share permissions = allow user, full control set
Password Protection = Off

What the fuck is stopping the authentication??


Fit for shit's and giggles, add the user you want to the Security permissions of the Hard drive the share is on.

Meaning if the share is on your C: Drive, go into the Security Tab in the C: drive and add that user. But don't share that Drive out, just set those NTFS permissions.

 

cannot open files on network shared drive

I have used a small handful of applications that just won't open a \\host\share\file.ext

Annoying, but there may be a workaround, try mapping the share to a drive letter:

In Explorer, Tools > Map network drive...





Then choose an unused drive letter, and the shared folder.





This will work for most programs as it'll see K:\kitchen.kit
