Fileshare

Intro #

windows file sharing is very important this days especially when you are working in IT company, you need to ask files from your colleague desktop or you need to draw some file from another computer or you may need to share study materials from favourite friends then this one is for you
and important things is that I would mention what ever errors I got, those fixes also explained

lets get started !

folder #

ok now to share the files first you need to select the file which you want to share, so i am sharing some sharing folder which there is a shared.txt file which is my d drive

right now i want to share or host the folder called sharing now for that go to the sharing folder

go to the

1. properties
2. sharing tab
3. click on share

now you would see the the users where who want to access

when you click the arrow down button you can see different types of articles

1. users in you desktop computer
2. everyone
3. create a new user

concept #

1. first option is the folder which you want to share with the other user in your computer
   1. why i need make things to share with other user : well in some cases the company or the other user will restrict the drive access to the other user so that they can maintain their secret folders
2. everyone is recommended because it will share to everyone not only with the internal user but also private network devices
3. create new user : you can give the user name which is only device which is connected to the network right you know the concept now

what you want to chose : well i recommend to share with everyone for newbie because it will easy to move on with out any errors

now ok

go to advance sharing and then click the check box of share this folder

now the folder setting is over

here comes the networking part

networking part #

you set the what to share part in this part the you have to tell system to all the access of network so that other can share my file kind of that so first we need to open settings here windows 10, 11 are different windows but the settings are same

here i am showing windows 11 where you may have windows 10 then the window will be control panel and 11 will be default settings window right lets jump into

go to control panel

NEXT : network and internet

NEXT: network and sharing centre

NEXT: next change advanced sharing settings

now in windows 11 you may go to the default settings but in 10 still control panel dont panic right

now you can see the window like this

conceptual things now #

1. public network is where you have the devices want to connect from the outside the network well that’s very complicated we need to host the things via services well am not going to that part
2. private network : now this is the important part because you have the wifi or lan or any network your device and other devices also connected on a network and they are having a ipv4 address well now if we tweaks the settings then what ever you do happen in private network this is the settings probably you are going to use
3. all network which is both of above

settings part #

you can see network discovery and sharing only things you need to remember is these two

what is network discovery #

this option is used to show you on network where other will see you on the network like this on the file network as show on below

as shown on the above diagram the what ever the devices is discovery is on then the device will show on the file manager else no

some time even though you on the settings the device will not discovered do panic still you can connect to the device i will show on the connection section

right if you need to share the file without error better to turn on netowork discovery and sharing button to ON

else better stick with the private network and make sure

password-protected sharing is also enabled because this is kind of best practise to hare files securely

connecting #

if your device is visible on the network directory file manager then no need to worry if not

on the search settings

type

\\pc_name

if you don’t know the pc name just go to

1. windows start
2. View your PC name
3. on the device name you can find the name of your pc_name

later enter the password and boom you will see the what ever files you want to share

after typing your pc name still it doesn’t pop up login id and password make sure the above 2 settings configured properly or not

turn off sharing #

right if you want to turn off the sharing just go to the folder and

1. properties
2. sharing tab
3. advance sharing
4. untick the share this folder

right this is it now you know the how to share the file from one pc to another pc via lan/wifi/any network
