I need some help on sharing a folder on my company network. Users are NOT able to connect to the subfolders that I'd like to be shared as well. Here's the situation I enable one of my folders for sharing (permissions set for Everyone w/full access) and also set the security for for Everyone (full access). Other users on the network have no problems accessing the main share folder on my computer (C:), however, they cannot access the subfolders within the shared folder. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks...btw its my 1st post here

First of all, it's not a good idea to give Full Access to a share. Reason being: users can then change permissions on the files and/or shares themselves. When you set up the share, are you ensuring that the permissions of the subfolders are inheriting permissions from the root folder? I hope I'm just misreading your post and you're not actually sharing your C drive. It's a good idea to have shares on a separate partition from the OS.

yes, the permissions are inherited on the security tab. I'm aware of the full access should be limited and will fix that once i get this problem resolved. When the security settings are selected with "inherited" checked, will the enable sharing on the Sharing Tab setting also be inherited?

If you look at the permissions tab on one of the sub folders, have the permissions you require been correctly inherited to it? You may have removed the permissions on child objects accidentally when you were trying things out - I know I have struggled with inheritance on many occasions! As for the question: "When the security settings are selected with "inherited" checked, will the enable sharing on the Sharing Tab setting also be inherited?" - as far as I am aware, inheriting NTFS permissions has nothing to do sharing - the first is applied directly to files and folders, the second is only applied to objects across the network. Once you have shared a folder, all its sub folders will be visible. However, if users do not have NTFS access rights, they won't be able to access them.

right click on the folder then pres sharing and security then choice your file to share that all..
