Laptop cannot see "My Documents" on PC drive E:

"My Documents" has been correctly relocated from C: to E:. The C: drive was getting full. Using the PC, all is well.

The network is fine and my laptop sees the PC, and PC sees the laptop.

However, when I click my [Username] folder on the PC from the laptop, the folders I see are on the C: drive, not the E: drive.

How do I make my [Username] folder on drive E: accessible over the netork?

Other family members/usernames whose files are on the PC's C: drive exclusively have no problem accessing them from their laptops or phones.

The laptop is Win7 and the PC Win10 Pro. The phones are both Android and iOS.

Have you checked that the Share tab for your new My Documents in its Properties is still showing that Sharing is enabled? It's possible that the parent E:\ drive is not set up for sharing and this has cascaded down to your new folder.

Thanks for your quick response - I'll try that.

Ha! I can't see the PC at all now from the laptop!

Have you updated your system yet? There was a cumulative update yesterday (KB3140743) that fixes a number of network connectivity issues.

Draws a blank I'm afraid.

Check by opening pc shares on windows 10 itself. If it showing shared content

one other thing, with windows 8 and 10 besides setting up Shares on driver and or Folders you also have to set up security on the security tab something you can try
