Changing Homegroup Sharing Settings
By default, the contents of folders shared with a homegroup cannot be changed by other homegroup users (Figure 14).
Figure 14 Homegroup sharing prevents a file from being edited by other homegroup members.
However, you can enable other homegroup users to have read/write access to files in a particular folder. To enable the contents of a folder to be changed:
- Open the folder.
- Click Share With.
- Select Homegroup (Read/Write) from the menu (Figure 15).

Once this setting has been changed, homegroup members can change shared files (Figure 16).
