I have no situations where I would want everyone to share my data. I also can't understand why I can't remove the 'EVERYONE' selection in the 'Users' column. I'm the only one here so I don't want any others to be able to share.

Is it the same as my computer login name and password? If so, why doesn't it work? When I set up file sharing I use the user name that is me. I'm still trying to find out what user name and password is used for file sharing. I can connect #2 to #1 and share files but when I try to connect #1 to #2 either as guest, registered user or 'using Apple ID' I'm not allowed and told to contact the system administrator. I do everything the tutorial websites tell me to do but continue to have connection problems and other glitches.įor instance, the #3 Macbook Pro won't even let me check the file sharing box to turn file sharing ON. I decided to give it one last try to set it up, just spent three hours, up and down the stairs, without success and I'm totally frustrated.

I'm always having trouble with file sharing on my three mac network. #3 is a Mid2014 Macbook Pro running Catalina (10.15.7) #1 is a Mid2007 iMac running El Capitan (10.11.6) Frustrated with Apple File Sharing Greetings,
