Permissions Problem

[Rich Plumb]

I have DrivePool 2.0 installed on a Windows 8 computer which I am using as a media server.

I have shared the drive with my Homegroup.  From the other computers I can read the files, but cannot update them.

I can update them on the host computer.  I am mystified as to why I cannot update from other computers.

I let the trial period runout.  Then I purchased drivepool and activated it.  Since I activated, drivepool, I have not been able to get full access from the other computers.  Is it possible the activation hasn't kicked in leaving the files in read-only status?  Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

 

To be honest, this is why I don't like Homegroups. They may simplify things, but they can cause issues.

 

Open the folders in question in Windows Explorer, and right click on the folder. Select "Properties" and select "Security" double check what entries have permission here. Then check the sharing options.
