Cant access shared files

Morcar · Nov 7, 2021

I got both my main PC and my laptop sharing drives which I can access.
My problem is when I click on a folder it wont open and says i dont have permission.

Is there a way to share everything on a drive and have access to the files?

Hi Morcar, welcome to Eleven Forums!

I assume you have "You do not have permission to access \\<IPAddress or Hostname>" error.

Then try the steps provided here:

Can't access shared folders from File Explorer - Windows Client

Provides troubleshooting for the issue that shared folders can't be accessed from File Explorer in Windows 10.

docs.microsoft.com

(You may need to scroll the page, to find the right error message resolution.)

You can also find out which folders you have shared on a network by typing \\localhosts into the address bar of File Explorer.
