If you’re a user of Kaspersky Internet Security or any Kaspersky version that includes a Firewall feature, you might frequently encounter issues where shared folders and files on Windows become inaccessible to others due to Firewall restrictions.
A common solution is to temporarily disable the Firewall or the antivirus itself to ensure smooth file and folder sharing. However, is there a more effective alternative?
The answer is yes. You can configure the network used for sharing files and folders as a trusted network. If you’re curious, here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this.
Step 1. First, open your Kaspersky Antivirus application.
Step 2. Next, navigate to Settings > Protection > Firewall Settings.
Step 3. Then, select Available Networks.
Step 4. Choose the network you’re using and set it as a Trusted network.
Once done, your device’s access should no longer be blocked by the Firewall, allowing seamless file and folder sharing.
