We have gotten a MyBook for shared file access in our office, how can we provide full permissions to all users in the office?

    Hi Andrew,

     Yep, this interface works great and is much appreciated. We are having problems with file permissions doing this, how can we enable full permissions for users on different computers?

    Hello Justin. Im Andrew an Independent Advisor and have great news, Windows 10 sharing is super easy now.

    To share across your network now all you need to do is right click the folder, click Share and it will open to select all users and whether to give them read, write, or all permissions to selected people or everyone.
    It works best when all computers are on the network when you set it up and need to turn file and printer sharing/ network discovery on on all the computers.

    If you run in to any troubles or have questions we're still here. Microsoft also has a website resource here.

    Take care Justin,
    Andrew

    So long as theyre all on the same network, are turned on and fully updated they should all appear in the Give Access To> Specific People menu. Sadly as computer names not users which makes it a bit difficult to specifiy which computer gets what permissions. You can find the computer name in Settings>System>About

    How do you get other computers into the listing to share access to?

    Hi again Justin,

    If you right click the folder and select "give access to" it will load up all computers on your network. From here you can select which system has read or edit permissions.
