Sharing a folder on a workgroup
Its been a while since I shared a folder in a Workgroup let alone a Windows 10 workgroup. We have a 2019server that is part of the workgroup and its where we want to share one folder from. Does anyone have a good step by step reference on how to setup a user from another computer to access a resource from another computer?
Check the network classification, Windows firewall allow inbound smb
Share a folder with everyone having rights, sevurity tab you would need to choose whether to open to everyone or since you are in a workgroup. You would need to add local users on the win2k19 server with the same passwords as users on computers?
Have you considered using virtualization and setup an AD through which you can centrally manage the systems and users?

Let me addendum my last comments. The server does not have a connection to the Azure AD. The two client computers need to share a folder that shares QuickBooks locally
You can use systems in workgroup the users that exist on individual workstations could be added to the 2019 server, or share a folder accessible by everyone with security permitted to read/write.
Install qb DB manager only on the server to function as the arbitrator if two users access the same company at the same time.
Make sure the server is not in a public network as the fw restrictions are highest.
You then need to grant qb incoming firewall rule.
As well as incoming s,b file shares.
