This article is part of a series - Networking Instructions for PowerChurch Plus. If your server/host computer is not running Windows Server 2008, Server 2012, or Server 2016 go back to the main article and click the appropriate link for Server Setup for your Windows version.

To share the PowerChurch folder, do the following:

  • Open Computer.
  • Find Local Disk C and grouped under that, the "PowerChurch" folder. Note: Versions 8 and 8.5 weren't installed into a PowerChurch folder by default. They were installed directly to C:\PCPLUS8\ and C:\PCPLUS85\. Versions 9 and higher will all have a PowerChurch folder.
  • Click the right mouse button on the PowerChurch folder and choose Properties.
  • On the window that opens, click on the Share tab.
  • Click the Advanced Sharing button.
  • On the window that opens, choose "Share this folder".
  • Click the Permissions button.
  • Choose or add individual network/domain users you want to share with, or choose Everyone from the list.
  • For Permission Level, choose "Full Control".
