There are several different ways to share files with other users. Here are some of them: creation of a computer-to-computer network, a conference room, through sites and file sharing, through e-mail, through removable media. And also direct access to files - from the "Shared" folder or from any other. The choice of the method is determined by who will have access to, what level of protection this implies and, accordingly, where it is better to place these folders.
Instructions
Step 1
Access from the Shared folder is used if all shared files are stored in one place, separate from other documents and folders. Or, if there is no need for special permission for a group of users. To do this, just copy all the information into the "General" folder and remove the default prohibition. Since any member of the network has access to view the contents of the folder, you can set a restriction on changing the stored information or set a password (if the computer is not in the domain).
Step 2
Access from any folder is advisable when periodically updating and adding files, for general viewing of documents, media, images, etc. Such access is necessary if the size of these files is large and takes up additional space when copied to the "General" folder, when you need to open access to a selected group of users, limiting it to others. You can also personalize users (one or a group) who have the right to make changes of a certain kind and set a password.
Step 3
To do this, select the desired folder and click "Share" on the toolbar. Enter a name, group or select "Everyone" and click "Add" or create a new user (new account). Next, set the degree of permission: "Co-author" or "Co-owner" (allowed to change and delete), "Reader" (view only). Then send out the links with the path of access by e-mail.
