Utilizing Shared Drives

Teams can use shared drives to search, store, and access common files from any device. Files in a shared drive belong to the team, not an individual user, unlike files in My Drive.

Sharing Folders and Files on a Network


To share folders and files with other computers on a network, follow these steps:

  1. Click on a file or right-click and select "Give access to specific users."
  2. Choose the "Share" tab at the top of File Explorer.
  3. Go to the "Share with" section and select a file.

Connecting Two Computers

To connect two Windows computers, you can use an RJ-45 Ethernet cable for a wired network connection. Ensure that both computers have access to the "Network Connections and Sharing Center" window.

Locating Shared Folders

When you know the name or IP address of a computer, it is easier to find the shared folder. Alternatively, you can execute the command 127.0.0.1 by simultaneously pressing the Windows key + R to bring up the Run box. This allows you to view shared folders and access desired files.

Synchronizing Two Folders

Once the two folders are arranged, click on "Compare" at the top to view immediate differences. To initiate bidirectional synchronization, click on the "Sync" button in the top right corner. This means that any changes made on one side will be copied to the other.

Understanding File Synchronization

Folder synchronization does not create a single file containing your data; instead, it recreates the correct folder structure, subfolders, and files in the destination folder. Folder synchronization can also work over a network.
