In this guide, I&#8217;ll outline the different ways to set up file sharing on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>There are at least four methods\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">for enabling file sharing on Windows 10. One straightforward option is the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/public-folder-share-files-windows-10\/\"><strong>Public folder<\/strong><\/a>, which allows you to share files over a local network without configuring<\/span>\u00a0permissions. Alternatively, you can utilize the built-in\u00a0<strong>File Sharing<\/strong>\u00a0features in Windows 10 for more control over shared content. If you need to share files with others over the internet, the recommended approach is to use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/onedrive\"><strong>OneDrive<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In earlier versions of Windows, you could use\u00a0<strong>Homegroup<\/strong>, a feature that automatically shared library folders (such as Pictures, Videos, Music, and Documents), printers, and other connected devices. Unlike the Public folder, Homegroup simplified sharing across devices on the same network. However, this feature has been discontinued on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\/\">guide<\/a>, I will teach you how to share files over the network using File Sharing and OneDrive on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#file_sharing_file_explorer\">Share files from File Explorer on Windows 10<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#file_sharing_no_password\">Share files without password on Windows 10<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#file_sharing_onedrive\">Share files from OneDrive on Windows 10<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#share_files_nearbysharing_windows10\">Share files from Windows Search on Windows 10<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"file_sharing_file_explorer\">Share files from File Explorer on Windows 10<\/h2>\n<p>The built-in File Sharing feature on Windows 10 is the most flexible and effective way to share files over a local network. It allows you to set restrictive permissions and share files with virtually any device, including those running macOS, Android, and Linux.<\/p>\n<p>You can share files using\u00a0File Explorer\u00a0in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basic Settings<\/strong>: Quickly share files on the network with minimal configuration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advanced Settings<\/strong>: Customize permissions and configure additional options for more control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the instructions below,\u00a0I will show you how to use both methods.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"share_file_basic_settings\">1.

In many cases, entering your email and password will fail. To resolve this issue, I recommend using a <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/create-local-account-windows-10\/\">local account<\/a>\u00a0instead. You can configure the shared location with the\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Everyone&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0group or use the username and password of an account that exists on the remote computer.<\/p>\n<p>Another workaround is to switch your Microsoft account to a local account and then back to a Microsoft account. This method has worked for me in the past and often resolves the sign-in issue.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"file_sharing_no_password\">Share files without password on Windows 10<\/h2>\n<p>On Windows 10, shared files are\u00a0secured by default\u00a0with a username and password. This means only users with an account and password on the sharing computer can access the shared files.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re setting up file sharing on a local network for family members or people you trust, you can disable the sign-in requirement. This allows users to access shared files without needing a password. While this method is <strong>not recommended<\/strong>\u00a0for most scenarios due to security risks, it is an available option.<\/p>\n<h3>Disable file sharing password<\/h3>\n<p>To disable password protection for file sharing on Windows 10, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Control Panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Network and Internet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Network and Sharing Center<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Change advanced sharing settings&#8221;
