When I click on desktop, I can see all the files that I enabled sharing but get the same message as above whenever I try to open any of those files. In Advanced sharing, I checked the "Share this folder" box then clicked on the "Add" button. A "New Share" popup shows up to enter the Share name and Description but I had no idea what to put in there.
