Windows 10: 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.

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
