You have created your own with Internet access . Now it’s time to take full advantage of the network. And they are not so little. But first we will look at how to make a shared folder.

You will not run with a flash drive from computer to computer. Having local network  it's just ridiculous and inconvenient. The local network is created so that the resources are shared. You can share the whole hDDor you can create a separate folder and store documents for general use in it.

You will have your file server with file sharing. Moreover, this folder will open from your computer, and it should not be searched throughout the network. Everything is quite simple and does not require any, material costs. Just configure sharing this folder. .

How to make a shared folder

We have already created a small one, and now you can make a common folder for all computers.

Create a new folder on any computer on the network and call it “ My files  "(You can call it your own way). Click on this folder with the right mouse button and in the drop-down menu select the item Sharing and security.

A window will open Properties: Your folder name . Tab Access  check the checkboxes Share this folder  and.

For Windows 7   the choice in the list will be as follows: -Shared access - Home group (read and write) -


AT WindowsXp   The following window will open.

With the first paragraph, everything is clear, but I will explain a little about the second. The fact is that if you do not check the box Allow online file editing , then the person who opened your folder on his computer will only be able to view the files, but he will not be able to delete them and change anything in them. Sometimes this feature is very useful. If you are confident in your partner over the network, then put this tick, and if not, then it is better to protect your files.

I have one folder at work on my computer, which contains the files necessary for the work of the programs. In order not to walk in all the offices with a flash drive or disk. Especially if I have dVD disc, and the drive on some computer does not read it, it is very inconvenient.

And so I sit down at someone else's computer, open my folder over the network and install necessary program. And so that someone, by stupidity, did not delete these files, I didn’t check the box Allow file editing . But you can copy these files. So - see for yourself.

Now we will configure so that this folder could be opened on the computers by other users of your network. To do this, go to another computer and click on the desktop icon network .

A window will open network .


Select entry on the left Display workgroup computers   and click on it with the mouse.

The following window will open.


Select in it the computer on which your file sharing folder was created and open it. You certainly will not have so many computers.


Find the network folder icon. I have this " My files  ". And drag or copy it to your desktop.

System administrators call it - share a folder.

Now you don’t have to search this folder online every time. Files will be stored on the computer on which this folder is created. Similarly, you can create any folder on any computer connected to your network and share files.

So we considered the question - how to make a shared folder.

If you have several computers that are connected to one local network, you just need a network folder. Everything that is in it can be opened and viewed on different PCs. It is much easier than transferring documents to flash drives or constantly uploading them to cloud storage.

The general catalog is irreplaceable if you work at once on several devices. For example, on a laptop, personal computer  and server. You can configure the exchange of information between them.

Such catalogs store impressive amounts of data: films in high quality, archives, images, collections of photographs. They will occupy space only on one PC. This is useful if other devices do not have enough memory on the hard disk.

This folder can be created if the files are needed by many users. For example, you are working with a company of people on a joint project. And each person should change, add, study something. If you exchange files via USB-drives, send them to each other by mail or via instant messengers, it will take a very long time. But if you do the work and leave the document in a shared directory, other team members will be able to view it immediately.

Home group

Before you create a network folder, you need to combine computers into a single network - local or home. This is necessary to limit access to the directory. Homegroup (DG) is available only on Windows 7 and higher.

All devices must be assigned unique IP addresses. They are automatically issued by a router, router or modem. To write IP manually:

  • Go to Start - Control Panel.
  • In the section "Network and Internet"


  • Open Network Management.


  • Click on “Change adapter settings” on the left.


  • A list of connections opens. Right click on one of them.
  • Item "Properties".
  • The string "Internet Protocol Version 4".

  • Again "Properties".
  • Put a marker in the "Use the following IP-address", write it and the subnet mask.
  • Do not change anything in these parameters if the provider gives you the settings. Otherwise, in general, will remain without the Internet.

To make DG:

  1. Put the current date and time on all PCs.
  2. Control Panel - System.
  3. In the "Workgroup Options" area, click "Edit."
  4. In the opened window again click on “Edit”.
  5. Type in “Computer Name” and check “Workgroup.”

Creating a home environment does not end there. It still needs to be configured.

  • Open Network Management.
  • In the "View Active" section, find the connection you need. Click on the link below it (it might say “Public” or “Enterprise”).
  • Select “Home” and confirm the action.
  • Go to Network Management again.
  • "Choosing a home group."


  • "Create".
  • Check the checkboxes next to the types of resources that you want to see freely available (Images, music, video, documents, printers).
  • Click "Next".
  • The password for DG will appear. Write it down. You will need it to add other devices to the network environment.

You can attach another PC in the same menu “Select Home Group”. But each computer must be connected separately through its own settings.

By default, the directory is in user documents at C: \\ Users \\ General. But you can put such a parameter on any directory. For one network (local or wireless) you can only make one DG.

Without this setting, it is not possible to create a network folder. After all, it opens only members of the home environment.

Activate sharing

Now allow internal access to the FG.

  • Open Network Management.
  • Go to " Extra options". They are listed on the left.
  • In the “Current profile” subsection, check “Enable” everywhere and save the changes.

After that you will be able to view what is on other computers. Open Start - Network. There will be all the devices added to the home environment (not only PCs, but also set-top boxes, tablets, Wi-Fi adapters).

Network Folder Setup

Here's how to make a network folder:

  1. Select it and right click on it.
  2. "Properties".
  3. Access tab.
  4. Button "General".
  5. Select the group you want to grant permissions to use the directory.
  6. Set the read and write or read only permission level.
  7. Click on “Sharing” to confirm the action.
  8. Select the directory and click "Finish".
  9. The line "Network path" indicates where the folder is located. It can be entered in the Explorer.
  10. Go to “Advanced Setup”.
  11. Check the box next to “Share”.
  12. Create a name for the directory. Or leave the name that was before.
  13. In the "Permissions" list the restrictions.

Now you know what a “shared network folder” is and how to work with it. Most of the parameters are arranged automatically. Therefore, to make a shared resource is quite simple.

If you only need to delete the link to the network folder so that it does not become in your computer, and the folder itself does not need to be physically deleted from the disk of the computer on which it is located, this can also be done via Explorer. After launching it, go to the network folder that has become unnecessary and right-click on it. In the pop-up menu, select the "Disconnect network drive" command. This command is also in the Explorer menu - it is placed in the “Tools” section of the file manager.

To do this, simultaneously press the key win + r, enter the command cmd and press the enter key - this is how the command line emulator starts. After that, type the command net use, with a space indicate the letter of the network drive that you want to disconnect, put a colon, a space and a slash, and then type delete.
