    I've been so frustrated with sharing! This video is great; really clear, good pace, easy to follow. It is way better than the websites that try explaining what to do. I have 2 Win10 machines so I just followed the first part of the video on each. This allowed me to map and then see each Documents folder from the other machine (first time this succeeded, thanks to the video). I did then have a problem (same as iVenom describes below) until I realised that one cannot share a virtual drive (I split C into C and use C for the OS and use E, which I names as "My Docs", for all my files) and then share E using the method you describe. AT this point, I got the same error that iVenom reports. I found that I had to change the name of my virtual E drive (to any other name, add a top level folder ONTO the virtual drive (E) that I named "My Docs" and then share it as the video describes. Everything worked perfectly, exactly as the video explains. So thanks Windows 10 guru, the video is excellent.

    You have no idea how long I've been trying to do this for, and how frustrated I've been at failing to set this up. You explained this so well, the steps were easy to follow, and you even explained some of the settings that I didn't know. And not to be weird, but your voice through the process was actually very soothing. I ran into a snag but was able to fix it on my own and finally now have local file sharing set up between two of my PCs on my home network. Thank you so much!

    And also does the pc that originally shares the folder have to be switched on for the sharing to work?

    This works great. Once you have changed both to private and turned all sharing on, all you need for the shortterm is the directory it gives you ie //computer-name/ and you can just type that in if the following steps are confusing. I have now finally been able to get a game from my one Pc to the other!
