Shared folder "Access is Denied" between Windows computers
As I can see from your description you want to share a directory.
Since you use Windows 8 and I can see the "Security" tab you are using NTFS-filesystem.
It seems like you didn´t configure NTFS-permissions.
- Click on the "Security" Tab of the Folder you want to share.
- Then "Edit..."
- In the new window click "Add..."
- In the new window click "Advanced..."
- In the new window click "Find Now..."
- Select the user who needs the permission to acces the folder.
- Go back to the "Permissions for " dialog.
- Choose the user you added.
- Set permission to "Allow" / Full controll (Or at least read permission)
- Click Apply.
On the sharing tab, the only entry you Need is:
- Everyone
- With permission "Full Controll".
You can manage the permissions with the NTFS-Permissions of the Security Tab.
The rest of the configuration looks correct.
