How to Enable or Disable Public Folder Sharing on Windows 10?
jack henry
Even though anyone can open and work with the files stored in the Public Folder, you’ll still have to go through a set of permissions. Make sure you’re permitting the right person as any changes made will be reflected on your computer as well. On the other hand, when Public Folder sharing is disabled, only those users having a user account and password will work with the same.
The steps to enable the Public Folder sharing on your Windows PC are:
- Go to the ‘Start’ menu and launch the ‘Control Panel.’
- Select the ‘Network and internet’ option from the menu.
- Click on the ‘Network and Sharing Center’ option in the next window.
- Select the ‘Change Advanced Sharing Settings’ option from the left toolbar.
- Click on the drop-down icon for ‘All Networks’ to expand the menu.
- Locate the ‘Public Folder Sharing’ section and tap on ‘Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public Folders’ option.
- Hit the ‘Save Changes’ button.
Note: You may enable ‘Password Protected Sharing’ for additional security.

How do you remove sharing from an Excel file?
I am not aware of any sharing access for individual Excel files (if someone reading this knows how to do this with Windows, please improve the answer). File sharing permissions are for giving access to folders, not individual files. If you are not able to change the sharing permissions on the folder in which you have the Excel file stored, move the file to a folder or drive without sharing permissions. See related questions and links for information about file and folder sharing.
