Work Folder Setup Issues

Question

I've gone through and created all my users, groups, folders, and permissions.

I am now attempting to setup the work folders. These are the steps that I go through.

New Sync Share

Select the Server

Enter a local path to the main folder or/and Create a share and select it

Next

Select User alias@domain or/and User Alias

Next

Enter name for the share.

Next

Select Add...

Add All Users

(I've also tried Administrators group, and different groups)

For some reason after adding it, it never really adds. I have tried various different options in this setup, and no such luck. I cannot move past this step "Sync Access"

Hello Slade Stull

You may consider following these steps to perform some basic checks:

1. Make sure you're logged in as an administrator because setting up file sharing and access usually requires administrative permission.
2. Check that your Windows Server is correctly connected to Active Directory. Work Folders often use AD for managing users and groups. If there are problems with this connection, it might cause issues when adding groups.
3. Confirm that the groups you want to add actually exist in your Active Directory Users and Computers.
4. Ensure that your server is connected to the network and can talk to the Active Directory domain controller. Sometimes, network problems can stop you from managing groups properly.
