Pretty new to Mac, but I’m trying to share folders over the network from my laptop (Mavericks) with my wife’s (Yosemite). From my machine, the /users/brian/Public
folder is sharing successfully, but other folders are not.
If I add new folders into the /users/brian/Public
folder, they show up instantly on her machine, but when I attempt to share a folder from another part of my system, i.e. /Users/brian/gdrive/picasa_database
(it never shows up for her).
I’ve tried sharing the folder by “right clicking on it > get info > clicking shared checkbox,” and also by going through “system preferences > sharing > file sharing > add folder.”
Neither method has worked. I have also checked permissions and both folders offer access to ”everyone.”
are you using the afp protocol or the smb? – bret7600 – 2015-02-12T15:22:31.060
Thanks Bret. I'm not sure. I set it up by selecting "go > connect to server" from the finder top menu. How would I find that out? – Brian FitzGerald – 2015-02-12T19:01:55.117
On the host computer in the sharing preferances, it should give you the link to the IP address of the server. – bret7600 – 2015-02-14T15:06:05.653
1It may just be a sharing permissions problem. To fix this, right click on the folders you are sharing, then change the permissions from read only to read and write. 'Happy Valentines Day' – bret7600 – 2015-02-14T15:08:08.840
4I'm having this problem too. When I click the "+" to add a new folder, I chose a new folder to add, but then nothing happens! Very frustrating. – Ryan – 2015-11-17T21:58:45.020
