    Sharing files between 2 PC's


    Hi Guys,
    Please can anyone help me out with this one.

    I have 2 PC's running Windows 7 with a home group set up.
    PC1 has two users.
    User 1
    User 2
    With two shared folders set up for each user.

    and PC2 has two users.
    User 1
    User 2

    Home group works ok with the two shared folders set to everyone.
    On PC 2 both users can access them fine.

    But I want to do is.
    on PC2 I only want User 1 to be able to access PC1 user 1 folder &
    on PC2 I only want User 2 to be able to access PC1 user 2 folder

    In a homegroup is it all or nothing?

    Many thanks guys

    Hi billynw, this is how I used to do it then I found Skydrive. As you have 2 users on your pc, the settings on page 3 of my pdf will be different, I am unable to help in that respect. File sharing.pdf

    Thanks for your help here Roderunner.
    I have tried out google's drive, like skydrive.
    Synced my documents for & works a treat, really impressed.

    I'm running 2 version of Win 7 on oracle VM and just messing about at the moment.
    But i'm sure I can't do what I'm trying to do, Like I said i think its share with everyone or owner & admin only.

    Thanks agian

    oh yea great site here guys
