I know the basics of network sharing, but it only works for me if I specify sharing with Everyone. Here are my two problems:
1. I want to share a folder on one PC with a specific person working on another PC. I get to where I have to type a name and then click Add.... Whatever I type in, Windows can't find it. So there must be some specific syntax? As an alternative, I can click the down arrow. Ghis gives me 4 choices, of which the only useful one has to be "Create a new user..." If I choose this option I transfer to creating a new account on this computer, which takes me to Settings>Add a new user to this machine - and They have to have a Microsoft account for this to succeed. Clearly, I am not on the right track here!
2. I want to give myself access to the C drive on my desktop from my laptop. Although I can share the drive (albeit only with Everyone) and I can see it on my laptop, I can't map to it.
So, I will surely be grateful if someone can help me out.
