1. Shares Folders and Drive locally
Let’s discuss about this process. you have to choose a folder (eg. my files) which you want to share with your friends or colleagues pc. because you want to give access to your friend for copying that file very easily without any external drives. so let’s see the below steps to do it easily:

Step 2 : Go to your drive [eg Local Disk (E:) or Local Disk (F:) ] which you have folders and you want to share .
Step 3 : After opening F: Drive (in my situation, it may vary at your time), opened a folder name as study-material and in that folder i want to share laravel video with my friend.
Step 4 : Right click on that folder and click on Properties option from list .
Step 5 : Click on Sharing Tab and then click on Share button from section ( Network File and Folder Sharing ).
Step 6 : After doing above click you will see sharing windows and on that windows Select “Everyone” and Click on Add Button and then click on Share Button
Step 7 : At last go to your Windows Explorer (Window +E) and click on “Network” and see your friend pc icon there and jump into it.
