Windows 10: What is the best free method to share 100 music files on my hard drive with a friend?

The folder on my hard drive with 100+ music files is over one gigabyte.


My friend lives in another city which rules out using a USB cable with both of our laptops in close proximity. We are both running Windows 10.


I was thinking of something like OneDrive where I could save the 100 files in cloud storage and then give him my username and password.


Are there other options which are better?


TIA.

How do I unlock the drive where Windows 10 is installed?

 

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!

 

Network/Music sharing

Hi
we are all in posistions of learning and difficulties every day my friend, there are no silly mistakes here, just challenges yet to be overcome.

This should still be achiveable via hard drive sharing though, and a homegroup was simply a home network shared.
Sharing such a device would have restrictions to a local network only though.

However, I do think that you are confusing some protocols between internet and local networks, and to try and make things easier for you, it may be best to try an alternative approach.

For this I would suggest a NAS drive as you previously mentioned or try iTunes which can stream Movies, Music etc to any device which you are signed into.

A NAS drive normally comes with iTunes or Plex software just for this purpose.

I hope this helps.
