Cant see the shared folders in windows 8?

If you can't see shared folders in Windows 8, first ensure that you are connected to the same network as the shared device. Check your network settings to confirm that network discovery is enabled by going to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings. Additionally, ensure that file and printer sharing is turned on. If the issue persists, restarting the computer and the router may help resolve connectivity problems.
