How to Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10

File sharing over a network in Windows 10 allows you to share files
and folders on your computer with other users over a private or
public network in your workgroup or domain.
You can set the permissions of a shared file or folder to allow

groups or users to have a read only, change (modify), or full control
access rights.
Starting with Windows 10 version 1803, some features of file

sharing over a network have changed, including the removal of
HomeGroup. However, even though HomeGroup has been
removed, you can still share printers and files by using features
that are built into Windows 10.
This tutorial will show you how to setup and share files and folders
over a network in Windows 10.
You will only be able to share files and folders that are on NTFS
and ReFS volumes.
