    I have been looking for this like forever. If I search on google it points to stupid article about how to install a router or a tutorial which is 10 pages long and overcomplicated. Thanks a ton for this great tutorial.

    why is windows 10 such a nightmare now. I remember setting up home networks on XP, Vista, 7 and it was always a breeze. Take a casual break, come back to Win 10, and pull my damn hair out.

    Followed the instructions but when I do it on a certain file, the file that is on the network is my whole profile. HELP!

    Awesome instructions, so easy to follow. Thank you for explaining it like you would to a 6 year old, I haven't been able to understand file sharing any other way!

    Why are the 'Network Options' found under 'Status'? I would never in a million years think of looking in 'Status' to set up network and file sharing! I'm new to Windows 10 and it's sloppy interface is seriously driving me mad and soaking up my productivity! Thank you for the vid!

    I have set up my network to try and share files, etc. over my LAN. Simply between my desktop and laptop. My LAN is connected to a NAS. I would like to share specifically my desktop files with my laptop and visa/versa. After the set up both my laptop and desktop do not "see" each other on the LAN. Is it because I have a NAS that I am having problems with this? I can I fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you so much, it was the last bit that i couldn't figure out, simply type in the pahway. You've just allowed a community workshop the ability to put its workflow through the roof! Thanks mate, thanks so much!

  15. Wery good video, thanks but what the hell am I doing wrong??? I can se what I'm sharing on all my 3 pc's after typing \localhost . I can se pc's names on network but after clicking on any one of them system is asking for password. It is happening on all computers. I have checked everything many times, password sharing is off as well. What I'm I missing?

  18. Gavin Caventer

    is there any way to share with some on another computer on the same network thanks

  19. I have 2 pc's both Windows 10. I can see pc2 from pc1 and vise versa. I can acces pc 1 from pc 2, but when I want to access pc2 from pc1 it says Windows cannot access \Jazz (pc1). You do not have permission to access \Jazz. What can I do to get permission and so access?

    I extended my WiFi router range with my old router, and I have two PCs that are connected to different routers via LAN cable. So, how to share files and folders using LAN cable or wireless network?

    I’m looking to create a “shared folder” with a colleague of mine who works remotely (i.e. a folder easy to navigate via file explorer). I simply want a folder called “Z: [Business Name]” where we each can access/add/modify files via file explorer and have them stored locally on each of our laptops for indexing. 2 Quick Questions:

    -Question #1): Since my colleague works remotely, can he still access the shared drive on the network (he's in a different location)?

    -Question #2) I just purchased two licenses for one drive for business (standard), but is this best solution to accomplish my goal?

    Side Note: I’d prefer not have all our company information “in the cloud,” but I’d be open to onedrive just for backing up data (although we can probably do this locally – we both have a lot of data – or maybe via an external hard drive?)
