How to share a folder in Windows 11

Professor Robert McMillen shows you how to share a folder in Windows 11 so you can copy and share files between multiple computers. learn how to setup security and edit the firewall as well.

I cant tell you how often and hoe many tutorials I watch about all sorts of things and like 95% of them dont work the way they appear. The way you explained this worked 100% no problems. No extra googling, no chain tutorials. Saved me like 45 minutes of suffering and research! Thanks! This is why I tend to "youtube" things instead of "googling" them now.

So I changed my user account to a Local Account. And I upgraded Windows 11 Home to Pro ($89AUD from PCMAG). But still I was getting nowhere. But then I realised that all I hadn't done yet was add 'Everyone' as an option. I hope I actually needed to follow all of the prior steps as well oops.

It's unbelievable how hard its to share a single folder on a home network...

4:02 Wait where did you get this username and password from? I watched the video multiple times. I am at a loss as to where and when the username and password were created.

OMG thank you ever so much, you've gotten file sharing working from Win11 to Linuxmint for me, after so much heartache. So happy right now...And I'm not touching another setting, it's working, I can leave it. YAY!

What is the Credentials and Password, where can I find them? Thanks.

can you make video on how to know your username and password? I thought I know the credentials from this computer but am having issues.

Home users are supposed to be able to do this ? All these years later ? I was working in a software store when the very first shipments of windows came out and it’s still junk. It’s actually worse because I used to be able to make this work to play mortal Kombat and Quake with my kids. Now I can’t. You know how I’m going to share files? I’m going to buy a couple really big external usb drives and sneaker net . It’s easier .

Oh thanks you're good i can do but it's very hard❤

[don.timeless]

it didn't work at first. than later I found that sharing will not work if the PC account is an Microsoft account method! so I changed the account to local account then worked! Windows sucks!
thanks for the video

They should make it more simple, there are way to many steps to activate this.
