you would think it should but it doesn't.
What i kept doing was clicking on advanced and browsing/listing the accounts. when you click on that button, type the email address of the microsoft account you are using.
under advanced sharing > permissions, add a group or usernames. This method tested November 2018, between a Win10 Pro and a Win10 Home system. Add the user to the Share Permissions AND you might want to Right click the folder againĪfter you apply that to check 'Properties' then 'Security' to ensure the user has appropriate read / write permissions. Now this is the important bit: The Microsoft account must have both 'Share Permissions' and 'Security Access' to any given shared folder. You can also check all the users of the machine and see which one has the matching email.Īt this point, you can establish the share: Right Click the folder, click 'Properties', then click 'Sharing', then 'Advanced Sharing'. Usually typing the first three to four letters of the first name then clicking It will be identifiable easily since it will have the same email, that was used to add it to the machine, as its description.
This adds the Microsoft Account user to the local machine. (the email address used for the Microsoft Account). Okay, here's what worked for me: (Win10 Pro both machines, but should work with Win10 Home 'guest')Īdd the Microsoft account of the user to the machine hosting the share.
