Make existing folders "shareable" in Windows Explorer in W11

[rpz9995]

On an HP Desktop upgraded (1 month ago) from W10 to Windows11 I've attempted to change existing folders to "shared" but those folders will not appear or be available to the person that shares this desktop with me. I've attempted the same steps in reverse (collegues profile sharing a folder with my profile - no joy). I successfully modified non-shared to shared in W10 Windows Explorer in same desktop. Any feedback welcome - thnx in advance.

Not sure..

If you have not done so, try / consider:

Shared Folder Permission Settings

When all else fails, the issue is perhaps a permission problem in the folder

that is "accepting" the shared data setting.

File Explorer > Navigate to the folder that will be used to share the data

Right-Click on the folder > Properties > Sharing > Advanced Sharing

Click (Select) Share this folder

Click (Select) Permissions

Beneath Allow > Check each box:  Full Control, Change, Read

Click OK to save changes
