Unable to access files on Desktop from laptop

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you are unable to access the files on your desktop from your laptop. However, we would like to know the details requested below:

• Do you receive any error message/code?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer?
  

Ideally, to share files between two computers, they should be connected to the same network.



We would like to know if you are able to access the drive using the IP address. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type
   \\IPAddress (ex: 192.168.x.x) and check if you are able to access the drive.
   

If you get any error, please click on the drop down arrow in the error dialogue box and let us know the error.



Also, check the sharing permissions for the shared folder. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Navigate to the location on the PC through which the files are shared.
   
2. Right click on the folder and select Properties.
   
3. Click on Sharing tab, and click on
   Advanced Sharing.
   
4. Now, select the checkbox for Share this folder.
   
5. Click on Permissions, select the check box for
   Allow Full Control.
   
6. Click on OK (Twice).
   

For more information, you may refer the suggestions provided by

You do not have permission to access \\PC_NAME contact your network administrator to request access.



Let us know the results.

Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI

I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

 

Unable to access files on Desktop from laptop

Both my laptop and my desktop operate on Windows 10 and I have followed previously successful steps for sharing files between the two computers. Why can I not access my desktop's files from my laptop suddenly, today? Did anybody else have the same problem?
Could you please show me some steps to configure any possible settings I would need to configure?
