How to Create a Shared Folder
When working on multiple PC there is the inconvenience of having to carry all your work in a USB mass storage device and then update the various files with those on which we have worked in the end.
Far everything is stressful but there is a solution: create the shared folder, it is a folder that can be accessed more PCs simultaneously and each of them can work on a different file, by doing so you always have the latest version and instantly updated and also do not need to lug around or USB sticks or anything else.
1.) There are shared folders in the network such as home or work and those needing an Internet connection. The first is used when, for example, we have more than one computer at home on which we work, then we create a network between them, and we can share what we are interested. The second you choose when you work at home and in the workplace.
2.) To create a shared folder on a network without internet access we proceed by clicking on ” My Network Places ” then on ” Entire Network “, ” Microsoft Windows Network ” and click on the domain that interests us. At this point, click on the computer that contains what we are interested to have, and you can see if the PC in which it is contained, there is permission to read from our side.
3.) If we wanted to share folders with the use of Internet connection could download various programs, one of the most popular is Dropbox, but there are also other programs like Google Drive, Box and many more. All require a free registration that allows you to take a few GB. You can still make subscriptions that provide tens of GB. With Dropbox 2GB data initially, but inviting friends and installing the app for smartphone can accumulate a few hundred MB. Be careful though not to work simultaneously on the same file, or go to create conflicts. This kind of problem is not present on Google Drive gives you the ability to use Google Docs, a program that simultaneously shows two users what they are writing at the same time without any conflict ..
