I have a permissions problem I've been unable to fix. Here's the setup:
Private home network, let's say Computer A (Windows 10), Computer B (Win 10), Computer C (Win 7). All computers are members of the Homegroup.
On Computer A, there is a RAID 10 4-drive array. The RAID is divided into three partitions, each a separate drive letter and name. All three virtual drives are shared, have Everyone in their share and security settings, and Everyone has full control permissions. Password protected sharing is off.
Computer B and Computer C can see one of the drives, and access its contents. They can see the other two drives, and can open them to see the top level folders inside. However, none of the folders can be opened, and Windows gives a "don't have access to this folder, see your administrator" error. (I checked, and all the folders also show as being shared, and accessible to the homegroup.)
IN ADDITION: Computer B and Computer C can actually access at least the media content of these drives, by opening the "Windows media server" icon in the network list, rather than the actual computer icon for Computer A.
AND ODDLY: When opening Computer A's icon in Network, a large number of top level folders are seen...most of these folders are SUPPOSED to be under the hard drives having problems, and in fact ARE stored there. But the directory structure as seen from a remote computer doesn't match the actual organization.
Since both Computer B and Computer C show the same thing, and can access other things on Computer A besides these two problem drives, I have to believe the problem is something to do with how these drives are set up...security, permissions, something. But I can't find it.
