How to Add a Shared Folder in Windows

To add a shared folder in Windows, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Windows File Explorer and navigate to the folder you want to share. 2. Right-click on the folder and select "Properties" from the context menu. 3. In the Properties dialog box, click on the "Sharing" tab. 4. Click on the "Advanced Sharing" button. 5. Check the box next to "Share this folder." 6. By default, the shared folder will have the same name as the folder itself, but you can change the name if you want to. 7. You can also set permissions for the shared folder by clicking on the "Permissions" button. 8. In the Permissions dialog box, you can add users or groups and set their level of access (read-only or read-write). 9. Click "OK" to save the changes.

Once you have shared the folder, other users on your network can access it by typing the path to the shared folder in the Windows File Explorer address bar. For example, if you named your shared folder "Public," and your computer's name is "MyComputer," the path to the shared folder would be:

\\MyComputer\Public

Note: In order to share a folder, you need to be logged in as an administrator on your computer.
