When working on specific projects synchronously, it is important to be able to quickly access the information you need. A similar function is implemented by creating special network resources.

Instructions
Step 1
The function of quickly creating shared folders is present in the Windows Seven operating system. Turn on your PC and open the Computer menu by pressing the Win and E keys at the same time.
Step 2
Browse to the contents of the local drive that will contain the shared resource. Right-click on an unoccupied part of the menu. Expand the New submenu and select Folder.
Step 3
Enter the name of the created directory and press the Enter key. Fill the resulting folder with the necessary files using the "Copy" or "Move" functions. Click on the icon of this directory and expand the Sharing submenu.
Step 4
In the window that opens, click on the item "Specific users". Wait for a new dialog box to open. Expand the "Users" menu by clicking the desired arrow and select "All".
Step 5
Click the Share button and wait for the new menu to open. In the window that appears, select the "Apply to files and subdirectories" option. Save your changes by clicking the Finish button. Close the dialog menu.
Step 6
Unfortunately, this method significantly reduces the level of computer security. If you want to protect your PC from external threats, share only with your workgroup.
Step 7
Open the sharing options for the folder you just created. In the new menu, select the "Workgroup (read and write)" item. Click the Apply button. Wait a while for the changes to take effect.
Step 8
If not all computers belong to a specific workgroup, share with a limited number of users. It is best if these are accounts created on your computer.
Step 9
From the Sharing menu, select Specific Users. Enter the name of the account you have on this PC. Click the "Add" button and set the permissions for this account.
