It’s worth mentioning here that Windows 8 require you to change folder permissions in order to share system folders. Now, you can access the shared folder from any PC connected on the network. It will open a separate dialog, allowing you to email and copy the shared folder link.
Once done, click Share to share the folder on the network.
Using Read pull-down menu, you can give read and write permissions to users, and remove Everyone group from the File Sharing list. This will add Everyone group in File Sharing list, and allow you to change folder access permission. Now, select Everyone from drop-down menu, and click Add. From Network File and Folder Sharing section, click Share to open File Sharing dialog. If you want to quickly share a folder residing in local drives or User Profile folders, open Properties dialog from right-click context menu, and then head over to Sharing tab. Share Folders From ‘Users Profile’ Locations & Local Drives To view the workgroup, open Computer Properties dialog and check PC’s workgroup from Computer name, domain and workgroup settings section. Therefore in order to share system files and folders on the network, you have to first create a network group, and then allow share object (like HomeGroupUser$) to access shared files and folders.īefore you begin sharing files and folders, make sure that you’re logged in to Windows as Administrator, and PCs connected on a network are on a same workgroup. The only difference that you will notice while connecting your PC to network is that Windows 8 doesn’t prompt you to create or join Homegroup/Work network group.
The process of sharing files across the network in Windows 8 is similar to Windows 7. In this post, we will guide you through the process of sharing Users and System folders across the network, so that you can easily transfer files to network PCs, and share your system folders with Homegroup users. Since Windows 8 File Sharing feature is an improved version of Window 7 Sharing, it includes some additional file sharing parameters to make shared files secure from external attacks. Just like previous Windows versions, including Windows 7 and Windows Vista, you can easily establish connection with PCs running Windows 8, and start transferring data without having to manually set IP addresses. Apart from ribbon-based Explorer and extra tools to manage files and folders within a directory, Windows 8 comes with simple, yet more secure file sharing feature, allowing users to share files and folders with users on public network, as well as Homegroup and Work network groups. The Windows 8 ribbon-based Windows Explorer has certainly changed the way of organizing files and folders, as one can easily find all the basic and advance file management options without having to search through Organize and Windows Explorer right-click context menus.
