Cheemag Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Hello, I use a redundant 1TB HDD drive L:\ in a USB caddy as a backup drive on computer //BB Second computer //AA sees the drive on the local net but no way will it allow access to either the whole drive or to shared folders on it. A flash drive, also on \\BB with the same settings, can be accessed as a whole drive by \\AA. File & Printer Sharing is on, network passwords are off. Why the difficulty with the HDD when the flash drive can be accessed, and how to get round the problem ? Both machines are Windows 10 64-bit. v10.0.18363 Build 18363 Regards Cheemag Quote Regards, Cheemag
Cheemag Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 I can actally access the individual directories, which I didn't realise were the ones on that net drive. I just can't access the drive as a whole, which is no problem now that I understand what is going on. Regards Cheemag Quote Regards, Cheemag
KenB Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I am sorry that you didn't get a response to your original question. Are you OK with the external drive now ?
