    Shared drive doesn't let to write or delete!


    Hi

    I have shared one *drive* on my desktop (full permission, everyone) pc so that I can sync it with my laptop. But my sync software kept giving error that it can't write few files on it so when I checked I found that I am not able delete or write any file to the drive from other laptop (via network).

    But I CAN write or delete from any *sub-folders* of the same drive from other laptop via network! Why is it so?
    How could I resolve it?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Yes, as you found out, settings on the security tab do matter. :)
