Share Name: enter the name that you wish to be displayed on the PC accessing the shared drive/folder. Access Type: set the level of read/write access to the shared drive/folder that is to be allowed.
Full: allow full read/write access to the shared drive/folder.
Depends on Password: allow read (and optionally write) access to the shared drive/folder upon provision of the correct password.
Passwords: set the password(s) required to access the shared drive/folder.
(From a security standpoint, if file sharing is to be allowed, the use of passwords to regulate access is recommended.)
Remember that it is not just folders on internal hard disks that may be shared, but also those on external hard disks. In fact any and all folders accessible under the [My Computer] icon may be shared.
