what's the difference between sharing and advanced sharing?

Hi , Andrew

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

Right, share tab it will share only the folder with the listed users you selected quickly and easily. More does not work in all folders, there are some types of windows that this option is disabled.

However, the advanced and active sharing option in the description itself informs the difference, if you activate the folder sharing, you can set a different name as it will appear on the network and add more than one name, you can set limits on how many users can simultaneously access the cache if you want this folder can be accessed offline, and the permissions have more options for a group or user that can modify and access among others.

Hope this helps.

advanced sharing settings

Two of my 3 machines are on 1803 and cannot share files. The other machine was still on the older version. I restored the 1803 machines to their older versions and now all 3 machines can see each other, so I know this is an 1803 problem. I tried to fix
the sharing problem by doing the usual folder Share procedures, but it do no good. I did not know about your suggestion on this site and therefore did not do step 3. I am hoping that your procedure will work, because I see that 1803 is being downloaded on
my machines as I am writing this note.

Thanks in advance for your help as I will be needing it in the next few hours
