I've seen plenty of people giving quick and easy network file sharing instructions controlling the share from a Mac, but nothing from the PC.
I've got a laptop PC running Windows 10 Pro and a Desktop with same OS. I also have a MacBookPro laptop. The Desktop is connected to my router by Ethernet cable. The router gives out the network IP addresses by DHCP.
The two laptops connect via WiFi. I can open the Windows File Explorer from the Desktop and see the Network. I had originally set those two up in a workgroup. They still have that old WORKGROUP name but I understand Windows quit using that. Anyway, they no longer show up in the File Explorer under workgroup, but they're both visible in Netrwork. Each of them show up when I open the Explorer and on expanding them I see and can access the shared folder from either.
But I never see the Mac or its shared folders on the Windows File Explorer.
From the Mac, I can see both the Windows PCs and their shared folders in the Apple Finder.
Since my Mac has no problem seeing the PC shared folders, I can always take a file I from the Mac that I want to share with a PC and drag it into a shared folder on the PC, but I can't have any control to do that from either PC.
My MacBookPro is running HIgh Sierra version 10.13.6. Since Apple devices are exorbitantly priced, it's not the newest.
Does anyone know of a way to be able to view the MacBookPro in the Network shares in the PCs on the Windows File Explorer?
The file sharing is working in both directions. It's just that I'd like to be able to have control from my PCs to the files on the Mac and not the other way around.
