Unable to share drive

[nimbusparis]

When trying to share C drive, the appl ask me credential then come back to the screen without sharing anything.
When using powershell (admin mode) I got this error:
C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: Error response from daemon: Drive sharing failed for an unknown reason.
Diag ID : 19034650-8E87-44CB-827D-361F6620673A/20181122173823

I've tried to disable firewall without success.

I am also seeing the same issue - same error message and here's my
Diagnostic ID: 32499C52-22D2-44B1-BBD6-025ADAB377AC/20181128074329

Same problem, even if I allow sharing on the C drive through windows explorer.

After enabling C drive sharing through windows and submitting the Docker credential popup, I get the Drive sharing failed for an unknown reason and the C drive sharing is now disabled in windows.

Same issue: any updates?

[drhoads]

The solution for me was to really delve into some of the documentation. For my instance I could not share folders on my Windows 10 machine with Dockers linux containers because I was using my Active Directory login credentials. You can’t use IDs that are authenticating to Azure AD
#1352
Only use local admins. I used my local login Admin and was able to get the share to work just fine. I ran into an issue of Docker not recognizing my local admin as another instance of me even though I used my docker signin. I had to uninstall Docker for Windows and then reinstall under my local admin user. Hope this helps.

I used my windows pin when entering credentials, which did not throw an error, but did not work.
I then used my full windows password and it worked.

[shurale85]

I am stacked with the same issue. And see no fix/workaround still

Same issue, any update??

[drhoads]

The solution for me was to log into the machine with a local admin ID (NOT a domain specific ID). That meant I had to set up that local admin ID as part of my Docker hub group. Then all the drive sharing worked.

[dadaxr]

problem temporary solved using docker 18.06.1-ce-win73 . next stable or edge versions are broken.

[FBoucher]

Adding the local user did fix the problem for me.
You can follow the instructions on Tom blog post here: https://tomssl.com/2018/01/11/sharing-your-c-drive-with-docker-for-windows-when-using-azure-active-directory-azuread-aad/

[liuning0820]

The solution for me: right click Computer ->choose "Management” -> Local User and Groups -> Groups
Find the Group "Hyper-V Administrators" and add your current login user into this group.

[jyothishavolin]

it worked for me

Settings > Accounts > Your info
click 'Sign in with a local account instead' and set it up

[dk-jessn]

Please help me here:
docker/compose#6688

1. I do use An Azure AD account which has administrative privileges to the computer, which is a company policy or even constraint, but has also tried with local admin.
2. Sharing the drive is possible by following Sharing your C drive with Docker for Windows
3. I am unable to run docker-compose up -d
   PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied
   [11064] Failed to execute script docker-compose

Thanks

hi, is there any fix for this? i tried all the solutions above, but none worked..

[PasiJarnstedt]

I had similar issue, and resolved it in following way.

My Setup:
Win10 Pro + Docker (18.09.2)
I use my AzureAd to login

My Project Directory C:\Users<Username>\source\repos\docker-symfony4

Solution:
Created local user 'DockerAdmin' and added it to Local Groups (Hyper-V-Administrators and docker-users)

Shared access to C with DockerAdmin / Pass.
After this stage Docker was complaining about directory rights.

Granted read/write/modify rights to C:\Users<Username>\source directory (and sub-folders etc).

Success!

[LeeRuns]

for those of us who don't use azure????
@docker dev team can you please make a wiki in your documentation for this specifically and walk through cases like..

• how to share all drive credentials between windows user and docker
• how to share a specific drive creds/permission to docker on windows

please do each of these where

• linux user is trying to mount windows based cifs by IP
• windows user is trying to mount share / cifs by ip
  -- windows user is trygin to mount share/cifs by share name (ie D:)

tried everything nothing worked for me

[mat007]

Can you please try the latest Edge?
We have removed the need for a password for sharing drives and this will be available in Stable hopefully in January.

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/edge-release-notes/
(look for entries mentioning gRPC/FUSE for details)

It works well with the edge version yes, thanks !

I still had the problem even when logged in as local admin + security options for network access as local.

Worked with this edge version, thanks !

[swebs]

Does the Edge release allow you to share SMB shares mounted at drive letters? I.e. we don't need the docker-volume-netshare plugin anymore?

[stephen-turner]

This is fixed with the new filesharing implementation in 2.2.0.3, so closing this ticket.
