    Unable to authenticate to access win10 files


    Hello Everyone,

    I have been struggling to access my windows 10 files from my iphone/ipad/android, while my PC is on the same network, I tried to use different file explorer apps such as FE File Explorer (FE File Explorer: File Manager on the App Store) to access the win10 but fails to authtenticate..

    I am able to discover the PC on the app, then it asks me for credentials, i tried all the different formats below but none of them work, can anyone please advise?

    username: PC_Name\Email
    password: EmailPW

    username: Email
    Password: EmailPW

    username: Email
    Password: Win10PIN

    username: PC_Name\Email
    Password: Win10PIN

    My Win10 spec:
    Windows 10 Pro
    Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards
    Jeffrey

    :)

    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.

    Windows 10 :Can not access Files on My Computer - Access Denied

    You are welcome to switch to Ubuntu but before you do you might want to put some flesh on your post by reporting

    • which programs are unable to access your picture folders
    • what error message you see
    • if you are able to access these folders & pics through the File Manager
