How to protect my drive on LAN?

By default, your files are not readily accessible or shared to other computers in your network. You will have to enable the sharing for a particular file or folder before anyone on the network can see the file/s. So, unless you manually enabled the sharing option on those files you are concerned about (which, again, by default are NOT shared), then you should not be worried about them being seen on the network.

If you are Microsoft Windows OS user then you do not have to install any application for the required job. By default sharing of folders is disabled on all user accounts except for Public Folders. As an additional security you must Turn ON windows firewall. This will block any unauthorized access to your files from some external source. To turn it on do the following;

·         START> Control  Panel

·         Click on Windows Security Settings

Choose Firewall and Click to Turn it on under settings.

Hello Dear,

Thanks for sharing your problem with us. Dear you should un-share you drive that contains private files.

One more thing that you can do is to turn on Firewall.

Go to control panel and choose security center,  choose firewall options and turn them on. After that restart your computer and run your network again.

now your data is safe.

Thanks
