    Use any file manager that supports network file browsing on your phone (in the same network) to browse your pc folders. You can even stream video files.

    Hi and thanks for the video. Is it something the same you have to do when you share an ssd disk on an asus router?

    I prefer good old easy to use and speedy Control Panel over the nightmare Settings, GUI on win10/11 horrible, and slow to respond.

    Thanks Brian.
    My PC network is named after the "Rocky franchise series of movies," i.e., Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky III, and so on. Before that, I was using the "Ocean's Series of Movies" as my network name.

    Why use sharing without password? Few years ago in my office one pc get infected with ransomware and malware spreads to all shared folders on others pcs.

    I have two laptops (different names), connected via a USB switch connected to a 7-connection hub, which in turn is connected to two external USB drives, plus printer and other bits. This has been working. I don't want both laptops to see the drives at the same time, to prevent applications on both machines accessing the drives at the same time. But I have experienced unexpected delays when video processing. Following your video, I have set both laptops to – right-click on both drives in turn – give access to – advanced sharing (x2) – OK – on both laptops in turn. The drives have identical letters on both laptops. Both laptops kept separate Recycle Bins on both drives. Hopefully, with drives shared, the Recycle Bin will be shared. — My Ethernet network was changed back to 'Private' after a boarder changed it to 'Public' for his VPN network gaining access to my system.

    What if I turn on password protection in sharing for security purpose? Won't it show in network? What are the differences if I turn on password security?

    Microsoft doesn't want you sharing files between your computers, they want you to put everything in the cloud and copy it from there.
    that's why they break file sharing in every new version.

    Thank you for this! It took me 3-days of experimentation after 3 different episodes over several months to get everything working the way I wanted it on my LAN. I was finally successful (this was back in 2020), but WHY are there SO MANY seemingly redundant settings that have to be configured. I certainly understand the need for tight security, but I have to wonder why MS has made it SO complicated. For example, you select whether you want READ-ONLY or READ-WRITE, but then under permissions, you have to select FULL CONTROL, CHANGE or READ. And, you didn't even get into it, but in the Properties dialog there is a separate Security tab. Oh, yes. Now I remember, this is the spaghetti warehouse world of Windows. 🙂

    Thank you very much. Have always wondered how to do this, and no one has explained it clearly and so simply.

    I use 'Snapdrop' (it's free) to share files between computers and phones..
    VERY fast, easy & absolutely FANTASTIC – when it works.
    But, for some reason, the hosting service doesn't work all the time – does anyone know why this is?

    Brian – Great video! Thank you for making it. I have a NAS connected to my desktop computer, which is in turn, connected by a wired connection, to my router/access point. I want to setup sharing with my wife’s laptop, that can only connect wirelessly by wi-if to our network.

    If I follow your instructions, will I still have access to my NAS, as well as her laptop, and will she have access to my desktop? Will there be any issues for either computer in connecting to the internet, or will I have to go into the network properties and select the ‘public’ network?

    It is a lot of questions, but I really need to find the answers before making changes, especially as my wife in not as technically literate as I. Thank you again.
