Title: Can't drop files to the server's Desktop folder, windows 10
Post by: themanchurian on July 16, 2016, 05:38:17 PM

Hello, a few days ago at my business I everyone lost the ability to drop/copy and paste files to the server's Desktop folder from the other computers in the network.
They can do so to each other, except for the server. In that case, we need to drop the files in the Public folder.

Any ideas?

All computers run with windows 10

Thank you!

You should use the public folder. That  is why it is there.

Which desktop folder do you mean? Each user has their own desktop folder (C:\users\<User>\Desktop).

Do users receive an error when they attempt to open or copy files? If you are trying to share a specific user's Desktop folder, since it is in their profile folder I believe the ACL is set to only allow access to that local userID.
