How Do I Share Files And Folders With Specific Users Windows 7?
There are two main ways to share files and folders with specific users on Windows 7: through the Homegroup feature or by using advanced sharing settings. We’ll cover both methods in this blog post.
If you want to share files and folders with all users on your local network, then the Homegroup feature is the easiest way to do it.
To set up a Homegroup, open the Control Panel and click on “HomeGroup.” Click “Create a new homegroup” and follow the prompts. Once your Homegroup is set up, you can add specific users and decide what level of access they have (read-only or read/write).
If you only want to share files and folders with certain users, then you’ll need to use advanced sharing settings. First, open the folder that you want to share and click on “Share With.” Select “Specific People” from the drop-down menu.
You’ll be able to add specific users and decide what level of access they have (read-only or read/write). Keep in mind that if you’re sharing a folder, any user that you add will have access to all of the files inside of it.

If you select “Everyone”, all users on your Wi-Fi network will be able to access your shared folder without needing a username or password (although they may still be prompted for one depending on their individual security settings).
