Can't see W10 machine in networking view but *can* map a network drive
Hello!
I've got two Windows 10(home) machines on the same LAN at my house. The NAS machine has a large HDD which I'd like to use a part of to relocate my Google Drive folder to(50GB!). Anyway, I have sharing turned on for the folder on the NAS machine, but that machine does not show up in file explorer when I click 'Network'. Oddly, I was able to map that folder and it works in the sense that I can transfer files from Machine 1 to the NAS.
I really need it to show up as part of the Windows network though, because Google Drive wants me to choose a destination, and I can't manually enter \\NAS\shared_folder.
I'm aware that this is likely an issue from a Windows update (1709 I think) where SMB 1.0 was removed. I have found ways to fix my problem using Group Policy Editor, but my Windows versions are both Home and that's not an option.
I have verified that File sharing is on, and Network discovery.
What can I do?
