Hello guys!!
I have 4 PCs at home and I want to create a folder in one of them, so that I would be able to share it through the network but access it only from my laptop. I don't want any other PCs or devices to be able to have access to that folder.
So what I did was to create that folder, and make it public. Then I built a homegroup, connected the 2 devices (pc and laptop) and granted full control permissions to the users of the homegroup for that folder. But that doesn't work. I cannot access that folder from my laptop.
The folder is discoverable. No issue there. But there is no access, due to permissions. The only way I can access it and create a network path for that folder, is to grant full permissions to "Everyone". However, that doesn't work for me, because anyone can enter the folder from any other device connected to my network.
How can I fix this? Thank you in advance...
