Windows 10 - FileBrowser does not show my Admin shares
Admin shares usually have a name with a $ at the end. These can include 'C$' for example, which gives you remote access to the complete C: drive. FileBrowser shows these as "C:" instead of "C$".
You can also create your own Admin shares in Windows by giving them a name with a $ at the end when you create the share.
Enabling FileBrowser to show Admin Shares
-
From FileBrowser's HomeScreen
-
Tap the 'Config' icon bottom left.
-
Tap 'Admin Settings'.
-
Scroll down to the Settings section and tap 'Show Files'.
-
Switch on 'Show Admin Shares'.
Admin shares are still not visible
Possible reasons:
-
Admin shares are not available on Windows 10 Home.
-
The account you used to connect with does not have Administrator privileges.
