Can't network Macs after updating to Catalina?

[kat.hayes]

I use to be able to network to my iMac and the drives connected to it from my MacBook Pro, though after upgrading to Catalina I receive the attached error. Is there some simple setting that I need to update?

Thanks.

I am just guessing that somewhere in the Preferences Sharing settings you have file sharing pointed to a drive location that no longer exists in Catalina. The message seems to indicate this is a folder called "ITunes and Media".

I turned file sharing on and off. I also re-added the drives and they display in the Shared Folders section and are set to provide me Read & Write access. I also removed access to myself and re-added it. It still doesn't want to work...

Do you have macOS Server installed? – Then the current version is likely the culprit; move it to the trash, wait a few seconds until macOS disables its services and you should be back to normal again (w/o Server of course)...

I do not.

I'm still trying to figure this out. I turned off file sharing and removed all of the shared folders and just re-added the shared folders and I am getting the same message. When I go to network from my MacBook Pro it is showing all of the same folders as before, even the ones I removed.

1. I just noticed in the Sharing Preferences window, in the column/options for users there is an option for Staff and Everyone. What is Staff and why would I want an Everyone option here?

2. Any other ideas as to what might fix this?

Thanks!
