I have a new MacBook Pro Max and am trying to share files with my network. I have given Read Write permissions to a folder. I can see the folder on other machines but none of the documents inside the folder. How can I remedy this?
the credentials you use when to make the connection from a remote computer must be exactly the credentials needed to see those same files (as if you logged in directly). The computer holding the files will be verifying them against its accounts.
If you can see a folder, but not the files inside, what are the permissions? you need at least valid READ permissions to see inside a Folder. The files themselves must have valid read permissions to see their sizes, and valid read/write permissions to change them.
Remember that you must be checking these from the Remote computer to get the permissions seen from there, which may not be the same as the permissions provided to a local Admin User..

Not necessarily, we have five Macs and in all five sharing "came over" perfectly when upgraded to Monterey.
If all else fails, you might want to consider reinstalling the OS via the Recovery Panel. That way no data, settings or apps are disturbed.
Have you selected File Sharing in the "Sharing" panel under System Preferences?
Yes, I have. I've been using file sharing for many years and thought I knew all that I needed to know. Something has changed under Monterey.
