To share a file in File Explorer on Windows 11, select the file, then select Share on the ribbon. You can also right-click (or press and hold) on the file > Share. Then, choose how you want to send the file and follow the process for that option.
Email a link. Select a OneDrive file or folder and select Share. Choose who you would like the link to work for, then select Apply. In the To: field, enter the names, groups, or email addresses of the people you want to share to. You can also add an optional message. Select Send to send the email.
Nearby sharing lets you share documents, photos, links to websites, and more with nearby devices by using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. It will work across Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. For more, see Share things with nearby devices in Windows.
Select a file, then select Share. Under Share with an app, choose the app you'd like to share with, such as OneNote. You can also select Find more apps if the one you're looking for doesn't show on your list.
Nearby sharing in Windows lets you share documents, photos, links to websites, and more with nearby devices by using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. You can share files between PCs that are running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
On the PC that has the photo you want to share, open the Photos app, select the picture you want to share, select See more > Share , and then select the name of the device you want to share with.
If you need to repeatedly access a shared folder or network drive, you can map to it. Mapping creates a persistent link to the share, allowing you to double-click its icon in MyComputer whenever you want access.
I have successfully created the image file, created users and a shared folder, enabled SSH and SMB in OMV, made sure all my settings were correct. I can now log into the shared folder over my network from my laptop, but on my PC i get the ' The specified network password is not correct'.
my firewall is on (its standard windows firewall). weird thing is, it worked ONCE before (when i frst used it) but from then on it hasnt worked. i have re installed both the regular software and the NAS sunsfounder image. really frustrating
Azure Files is Microsoft's easy-to-use cloud file system. Azure file shares can be seamlessly used in Windows and Windows Server. This article discusses the considerations for using an Azure file share with Windows and Windows Server.
In order to use an Azure file share via the public endpoint outside of the Azure region it's hosted in, such as on-premises or in a different Azure region, the OS must support SMB 3.x. Older versions of Windows that support only SMB 2.1 can't mount Azure file shares via the public endpoint.
This article uses the storage account key to access the file share. A storage account key is an administrator key for a storage account, including administrator permissions to all files and folders within the file share you're accessing, and for all file shares and other storage resources (blobs, queues, tables, etc.) contained within your storage account. If this isn't sufficient for your workload, you can use Azure File Sync or identity-based authentication over SMB.
A common pattern for lifting and shifting line-of-business (LOB) applications that expect an SMB file share to Azure is to use an Azure file share as an alternative for running a dedicated Windows file server in an Azure VM. One important consideration for successfully migrating an LOB application to use an Azure file share is that many applications run under the context of a dedicated service account with limited system permissions rather than the VM's administrative account. Therefore, you must ensure that you mount/save the credentials for the Azure file share from the context of the service account rather than your administrative account.
Select the drive letter and enter the UNC path to your Azure file share. The UNC path format is \\.file.core.windows.net\. For example: \\anexampleaccountname.file.core.windows.net\file-share-name. Check the Connect using different credentials checkbox. Select Finish.
You don't need to mount the Azure file share to a particular drive letter to use it. You can directly access your Azure file share using the UNC path by entering the following into File Explorer. Be sure to replace storageaccountname with your storage account name and myfileshare with your file share name:
You'll be asked to sign in with your network credentials. Sign in with the Azure subscription under which you've created the storage account and file share. If you do not get prompted for credentials you can add the credentials using the following command:
If you've taken a share snapshot, either manually or automatically through a script or service like Azure Backup, you can view previous versions of a share, a directory, or a particular file from a file share on Windows. You can take a share snapshot using the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI.
Select Previous Versions to see the list of share snapshots for this directory. The list might take a few seconds to load, depending on the network speed and the number of share snapshots in the directory.
Fixing windows 10 SMB issues has been a nightmare. MS has continuing tighten security over the past few years. (I personally just had one crop up in the past month where they changed "Password Protected sharing" from 'off' to 'on' on the upgrade from 1809 to 1903 which meant I could not get to the shares on another WIN10 computer! But I still had access to my Unraid server...)
Well all I know is FreeNas and OpenMediaVault simply do not exhibit the same SMB issues that unraid does, it would be super cool if the developers spent some time actually fixing this issue, rather than constantly blaming windows. It might be windows for all I know, but other solutions work flawlessly, but I paid for unraid, so am somewhat stuck with none of my windows machines reliably and consistently connecting to my unraid server.
As I recall, the problem is that unless you allow this, you can not see any SMB shares on an Unraid server unless you first log onto that server as a valid user. (By extension, you can not see any Public shares on any Windows computer either. )
Now, I have my Unraid shares on my home network set to 'Secure' which means that 'Guests' have only read privileges. And I don't have a user assigned to any share so basically no one can write, modify or delete and file using SMB! (I actually did this to prevent ramsonware from doing its thing if my network were to be compromised-- more likely someone does something really stupid.)
I am not qualified to advise you at the point. You could map each share (as a drive) that the user for each computer has the need to access. I don't think, the WIN10 computer needs to be able to see the share to do this. Of course, MS does have tools to help the system admin do this sort of thing (as I understand it).
I am new to Unraid and coming from Freenas. I had my unraid SMB share working fine from my Linux PCs and my Windows 10. Now all of a sudden it stopped working from Windows 10. It may have been the latest 10 update. I am now running 19041.207 from my Win 10 desktop and laptop. I can't reach the Unraid SMB share. I tried clearing the credentials Windows had save for my unraid server and I have the Lanman workstation setting to allow insecure. Any ideas what else I can look for since it was working before?
I'm trying to create an anonymous share on my Windows 10 computer. Now if I right-click on the folder I shared, switch to the sharing tab, I can see at the bottom of the property window People without a user account and password for this computer can access folders shared with everyone.
But when I try to access it from a Mac or PC, I still get login prompts.
I also tried a lot of things I found on the web:
Nothing has worked till now. It just seems impossible and stupid, cause the property window clearly says People without a user account and password for this computer can access folders shared with everyone.
Create share folder > right click > properties > sharing > advanced sharing > Share this folder > Permissions > check 'full control' > OK > security tab > add "Everyone", check "full control" > OK > OK
I don't recommend using the 'Give access to' or 'Share...' "wizard" as it will sometimes share parent folders (e.g. if your shared folder is on your desktop, it will share the "Users" folder) or fail to apply necessary "Everyone" security permissions (e.g. if your shared folder is in C:\)
This is still very stupid though, without making the change anonymous users cannot access the shares why the heck does the properties pane say People without a user account and password for this computer can access folders shared with everyone.
Here is an alternative method that I use to accomplish this in Windows 10 Pro. This method involves enabling the Public folder sharing functionality built into Windows, creating a new Shared folder and setting the Sharing and NTFS permissions identical to the Public folder under the Users directory. Then disabling the Public share. This method does not modify any local security policies or registry settings (that I have seen posted all over the Internet)
