BLS-KB14-601
Introduction
This technical bulletin describes how to enable file sharing on a Windows based computer running Windows 10 (or 8) or Windows 7.
Scenario
Music files stored on a Windows desktop or laptop can be accessed by Bluesound using Windows File Sharing. Windows File Sharing however is not enabled on a laptop by default. You can manually alter these settings by following the commands listed in these Screenshots.
- Windows 10; Bluesound Win10 Screen Shots
- Windows 7; Bluesound Win 7 Screen Shots
Once completed, in The BluOS App, select Network Shares from the Settings, Music Library to add shares
Notes
- If Shares cannot be discovered or fail to connect once configured as above, other 3rd party security software may be interfering. Please confirm with your 3rd party security software documentation
- Windows 8 users follow Windows 10 Instructions
- This process is designed for a home installation of Windows. Windows business computers work in a Windows Enterprise Domain may have group policies enforced to prevent or alter file sharing utilities
- Please contact the BluOS Support Crew for more information or if you are still unable to connect to your share. Mail us at support@bluesound.com
