Sharing Folders – Multiple Questions
Sharing my Desktop files and accessing it on my Laptop (Both Win10) at home and have few questions:
1] Help me set permission in such a way that only my devices can access it.
More info below:
I have turned permissions to everyone, initially while setting-up for the first time as I was getting permission issue. But, now I just want to add credentials of my laptop & TV only, and, remove everyone as I understand it’s a big security issue. I also tried it removing everyone permission by this method: Folder->Properties->Sharing->Advanced Sharing->Permissions->Remove.
But I am not sure it’s a perfect method, as even on all other folders in my computer which I never shared and when I check its coming as “everyone” in permission. So, I guess I changed the settings universally on my computer?
2] When I enable sharing in any folder, does my drive/folder appearing only on my devices that is connected to my Home Router, OR, my neighbors would also be seeing my drives & folders but obviously cannot access it as its password protected ?
3] How can I share a single video file – Can I even do it? I don’t wana share folders……
4] What is the difference between sharing a folder directly vs. creating a Homegroup?
