I should know how to do this, being a techie, and I have tried a few things already, but they aren't working.
What I am trying to do is have two folders, one is shared with everyone on the network, and the other folder is only accessible by one specific person across the network. (These are all "Windows 10 Home" PCs)
I have the folder for "everyone" access setup and working, but the folder I am trying to make accessible by only one person won't let me access it even from their computer.
What is the secret sauce for having both of these folders working? I want to keep the "everyone can access" folder without a password, while the other folder should be shared with only the one person. (But currently is inaccessible to even them.)
How do I do this again?
PS: Simple peer-to-peer networking.
I would first try with playing with the permissions of the folder you can set it up to only be accessed by that user under the Group and user names. – NetworkKingPin – 2019-01-05T00:58:39.563
I added a user with the same username and password to the sharing computer and gave that user full permissions, but that did not let the other computer access it. – Sindyr – 2019-01-05T01:21:16.667
If the added user, was created on the same machine, instead of the other computer user that would explain your issue – Ramhound – 2019-01-05T01:36:48.250
The added user was created on both. – Sindyr – 2019-01-05T15:37:47.960
