macOS sharing issue

[cutlerkevin]

Over the last few years i have noticed something, something that cant really called a bug but its something that should be fixed. by default when you go into the system's sharing settings and you set up file sharing no matter the files or folders you add, it will automatically share the Macintosh HD. Below is a safe link to a site that shows you how to solve this but i thought it should also be spoken about.

macOS Sharing Fix

what are your thoughts on this?

Not really an issue, it requires the user credential to connect.

it would be an issue if you just wanted to make a user to get to just select folders. Its a small nit pick but still. regardless i am interested to see what people think

It's possible to select which folder to share and create a user that can connect only to a specific folder in the sharing panel. Click on the "I" button.
