Believe me! I know ALL About This!!! My previous job I had to setup shared folders for scan-to-folder from multi-functional copy (MFP) machines. Absolute worst was doctor's & lawyer's offices as they changed their passwords every 90 days or so, which "broke" the scan-to-folder link. Path was fine but couldn't authenticate due to password change. I got to the point where ALL scanned files used a separate "user" only used for scanning with a password that never changed. End user still had access to the scan folder. Other method was to use a single central file server with individual file folders, all with the same login password which the folders were mapped to each individual computer. Best method is a static IP on each PC as hostname can sometimes fail in the path.

I know this is a month old, did this to two computers of mine, one a desktop, running Windows 11 Pro, the other Win 11 Home, and is a laptop, both Dells.
I just used the file share/private network in Windows to make it happen, and at this time, I only have music, photos and documents shared on both. Idea is to record audio to the laptop, and then transfer the files to the desktop to finish up the project.
Being that I don't want to run ethernet cabling, the laptop connects to the wireless router, which then passes on via ethernet to the desktop. My printer is also networked via the ethernet connection and I did this once, where I had the laptop on the kitchen table and found a recipe on Serious Eats, hit cont+P and et voila, I had a printed copy from the kitchen. I think I can do that as well with my android phone too, though not for file sharing as I have not set that up as I am not needing that on it, now that I have a laptop.
In the past, paring say, XP with 10, or 11 was a pain, and generally not possible. I think from Win 7 on is possible.

To the point tutorial. Excellent! :D
Would love to see a follow-up on how to access that share from a phone on the private wifi.
Also, is it possible to setup the share with username/password, but a separate account?
So I can be using my admin account to use the machine, but the share is using a different account, or can't you use two accounts at the same time?
Probably can't, since I'd be logged in to the admin account.

Thank you for the topic. Would you please cover remote access to another Windows 10/11 PC at home? I have several PCs at home where my elder family members periodically need help on their computers. It help for me to be able to access their PCs and not have to ran up and down. I know Google has a service, but you're trusting someone with being as an intermediary. Is there a more direct way? Thank you

Remember, When people come to your house and you share your network password with them for their phone, that would be giving them access to your shared folders. Thanks for the video!
