Windows 10: Windows 10 file sharing permissions problems

I am trying to share folders between two laptop computers on the same network. I do not want to use OneDrive, just want to use Windows File Sharing.


The network is set to type "private" on both machines.


Neither laptop is on a domain. One is running Windows 10 Pro version 2004. The other is running Windows 10 Home version 1903. Each computer only has one user, the admin user, and that is set to a microsoft account. On Win10Pro this is my work account *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, which is a Microsoft Live account or whatever gets you Office365. On the Win10Home machine it's my *** Email address is removed for privacy *** microsoft account. these are not the actual account names


After setting up the shared folder shared with full control for Everyone, and making sure that File Sharing is allowed on private networks, I can open the Windows File Explorer and I see the computers under the "Network" group. However if I click on the remote compute I am prompted to "Enter Network Credentials", but the Microsoft credentials don't work. On the Win10Pro laptop I have the *** Email address is removed for privacy *** user added as a family member. On the Win10Home laptop, I tried to add *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as a family user or as an Other user, but it says "Looks like this isn't a Microsoft Account. Try another email" even though my company pays for the whole microsoft suite, and it is definitely an email I use to log in and accest my office365 email with.


Regardless, neither computer will accept the other computer's Microsoft login and allow browsing of the remote folders.


I don't really want to have to set up a new set of local users and make sure all the permissions are correct. Is there any way to log in with the Microsoft logins?

Windows 10 permissions...

How is the NAS on windows 10 Pro? Is it software or a share? Did you check ntfs vs share permissions?

 

Windows 10 permissions...

Ok so I feel officially dumb I am trying to copy my steam library to my NAS. Both are on windows 10 pro and both have full control in the file manager. Neither windows nor fast copy will allow me to copy, both list a permissions error? This was never an issue with windows 7...so first off thank you microsoft god forbid I want to back up my data, second off what the heck do I need to do to make this work. All I could fine online was to set full control and that obviously didn't help.

Also robocopy doesn't apparently work with network locations?

 

File and Printer Sharing Between Vista and Windows 10

Hi,

To share a folder in Windows Vista, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• Ensure that file sharing is enabled as described in the Enabling File and Printer Sharing Options section of this article.
• Click Start, and then click Computer.
• In the Computer window, navigate to the folder containing the folder that you want to share.
• Right-click the folder that you want to share, and then click Share. The
  File Sharing window is displayed.
• If you have password protected sharing enabled, use the File Sharing window to select which users can access the shared folder and their permission level. To allow all users, select
  Everyone in the list of users. By default, the permission level for a selected user is Reader. Users cannot change files or create new files in the share. To allow a user to change files or folders or create new files or folders, select Co-owner
  as the permission level. Figure 5 shows an example of configuring users and permission levels in the
  File Sharing window.
  
  If you have password protected sharing disabled, use the File Sharing window to select the Guest or Everyone account. This is equivalent to simple file sharing in Windows XP.
  
• When complete, click Share, and then click Done.

Hope the above information helps.
