Dear Experts

My laptop which has windows 10 is a work laptop and it is part of the work domain.

At home I need to access my shared folder at desktop to do backup for photos documents.

I can access the shared folder no problem but every time I need to type in the credential while that won't happens on other home computers (windows 7 not 10).
Means home computers were required credential only the first time and it would be saved, while work laptop every time I need to type in credentials to access shared folder why ?

Second question I have bee using 2BrightSparks backup software for while on my other home computers and I used to do backup to a shared folder, without any problem.

Today I tried to use software on my work laptop, backup software has source and destination.

I tried to set the destination to be a (shared folder) but software can't see it, although I mapped that shared folder on my work laptop and I can access it.

That won`t fix any of the problems specifically, but it will help with the access issues when not on the domain. Log into the local admin account and check in computer management-users and groups-administrators and add the domain account as one of the admins on the device, this has to happen while on the domain so it can search for you username on die Domain Controller. You may need a domain admin to authorize this.
