The image below shows the "Give access to... -> Advanced Sharing" option on a drive in Windows Explorer.

@Josh65-2201 I think that's a little different, this should still be displayed under the "show more options" menu.

Thanks for taking a look at this. #5941 is similar yes. I was looking for something like that as well in the Properties, but ultimately, I believe it should be in the context menu or "show more options" to give access, which would end up going to a Sharing tab in Properties.

Is there any update on this? Recent updates haven't included a mention about this but it's tagged as "ready to build". Because I work with sharing drives for different things, I can't use Files as a replacement.

No one has looked into this.
