Luckily, Windows 10 includes multiple ways to view a list of all the folders shared on your device, including using File Explorer and Computer Management. This guide will tech you two ways to view all the folders your computer is currently sharing in the network on Windows 10.
View shared folders from File Explorer View shared folders from Computer Management
View shared folders from File Explorer
To view all the network shared folders in File Explorer, use these steps: Once you complete the steps, you can see the folders currently accessible from the network. However, you may need to confirm the user credentials to access the network contents.
View shared folders from Computer Management
To view all the network shared folders through Computer Management, use these steps: In Computer Management, you will see a shared folder list, plus other shared items, such as C$, IPC$, and ADMIN$. These are administrative (hidden) shares that Windows 10 enables by default and are not visible unless someone uses the specific path and proper credentials.
Although these methods can help review the folders currently shared on the network, note that if you share a folder inside your profile folder, it will appear as the “Users” folder being shared in the network. Typically, you don’t want to share folders from within your profile folders (Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, etc.). Instead, you should create a share from the secondary drive or the root of the “C:\” drive. All content on this site is provided with no warranties, express or implied.
