Did you add everyone in the Security tab ?
All pcs should be on the same network and home group

There are two dropdowns in Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced sharing settings
Home or Work
and
Public
network discover and file and printer sharing are ON on both of them
and password protected is OFF on both of them.
this is the case on this computer and both of the other two computers on the network.
Suggest you study the information and required steps in the link to establish a GPT partition table so that Windows can use this 24TB drive. :)
Windows support for hard disks that are larger than 2 TB
How exactly would one add someone in the Security tab?
The only options are:
Everyone
Authenticateed Users
SYSTEM
Administrators (<name>\Administrators)
Users (<name>\Users)
replace <name> with the name of the computer that is trying to share the drive.
Those are listed under "Group or user names:"
when i click them they show checks next to the Read & execute and List folder contents options in the window below.
I am trying to share a drive so that other computers on the network can see it.
Currently out of the three computers on the network, one of them is the computer into which the drive is plugged directly. One of them can access it, but I have to enter my username/password from the first computer first, the third does not see it.
The drive works fine when I plug it in, individually, (as I explained) into any of these computers.
The formatting/partitioning of the drive is fine.
I've felt like there is a language barrier here from the start, since you kept insisting on sharing from a particular folder. I am trying to share a drive, via an Operating System. Not share a folder.. via a folder.
If there is any more information I can provide for troubleshooting, please let me know.
This is a big part of what I don't understand.
Why can't I just share the drive? Why do I have to go into security settings and have a permissions function iterate through all the folders? That seems like a very messy solution. One of the computers sees the drive perfectly well when all I did was share it.
I just want to do it this way because this is the simple and straightforward way. And I am trying to understand why it is giving me trouble.
Your last statement contradicts the previous one as it's obvious that at least one machine doesn't have access at all.
From what I have read about drives bigger than 2TB, you may be able to see the drive but won't be able to use more than 2TB. This according to the link I posted earlier.
It sounds like the credential requirement may be built into the drive's security settings although you may be able to get around that by making adjustments to the Local Security Policy's of each machine.
Try these settings to see if they make a difference.
Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy
Local Policies - Security Options
Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
Set to Send LM & NTLM responses only
Set the Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
Disable Require 128-bit encryption
The screen shots below should be helpful.
Reboot all machines after making the adjustment.
