Hello,

To create and share a folder in Windows over a network, you can follow these steps:

1. Create the Folder:
   • Right-click on your desktop or inside any other folder.
   • Select "New" and then "Folder."
   • Give your folder a name.

Sharing the Folder:

2. Share the Folder:
   • Right-click on the newly created folder and select Properties.
   • Go to the Sharing tab.
   • Click on the Share button.
3. Share with Specific People:
   • In the File Sharing window, you can type in the names of the people you want to share the folder with or select them from a list.
   • After selecting the people, click on the Add button.
   • Set the Permission Level for each person (e.g., Read, Read/Write) by selecting the desired permission level from the dropdown next to their name.
   • Click Share.
4. Advanced Sharing (Optional):
   • If you want more granular control over sharing settings, go back to the Sharing tab in the folder's Properties dialog.
   • Click on Advanced Sharing.
   • Check the Share this folder option.
   • Click on the Permissions button to set specific permissions.
   • Click OK to save the settings.
5. Network Discovery and File Sharing:
   • Make sure that Network Discovery and File Sharing are turned on. You can do this by:
     • Going to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings.
     • Make sure "Turn on network discovery" and "Turn on file and printer sharing" are selected.

Accessing the Shared Folder:

• Other computers on the same network can now access the shared folder by:
  • Opening File Explorer.
  • Typing \\YourComputerName or \\YourIPAddress in the address bar.
  • They should see the shared folder listed.

I hope the information above is helpful.
