This video tells you how to setup a file server with Windows 10 / 11 Pro edition. It will work for very small businesses. However, an in-house file server only works if everybody works in the same office location. It is better to use a Cloud File Server. It can be setup in just a few minutes. Please watch this video for very detailed step-by-step guide: ua-cam.com/video/RA5R3jbnzQM/v-deo.html
If WiFi is slow, usually it is due to the distance from your PC to the WiFi router. Try to put them closer. Otherwise, connect your PC to the router with an ethernet cable. If your PC does not have an ethernet port, you can order a USB ethernet adaptor.
I am not sure about your specific requirements. But if you just need a file server (to map network drives), then it should work for you. If you don't use a Windows server computer, then it is generally limited to 10 clients.
You need to configure it on each PC. If you use an Active Directory domain (requires Windows Server), then you can use logon script to automatically map drives on each PC. If you use DriveHQ's Cloud File Server, you can preconfigure cloud drives to map for each user or subgroup. Just log in to DriveHQ.com as the group owner, then click Group Admin on top of the web page, then click Group Options -> Preconfigure cloud drives to map. Please watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/RA5R3jbnzQM/v-deo.html It has very detailed information.
If you use DriveHQ's Cloud File Server, then you don't need VPN. You can map cloud storage as a network drive without using VPN. The speed and reliability are usually better than if you use VPN.
Thank you very much. We have recently created a lot of videos about DriveHQ's Cloud IT service and CameraFTP's Cloud Recording/Surveillance service. We will continue doing so. Please visit or subscribe to our UA-cam Channel: ua-cam.com/users/DriveHQCameraFTP
Regular file servers are usually LAN-only, you need to access it in the same office location. (even if you use Windows Server OS as file server). To access a file server remotely, usually you will need to use VPN, or you can use DriveHQ's Cloud File Server / WebDAV Drive Mapping service, which is optimized for accessing from anywhere: www.drivehq.com/features/webdav.aspx

Is there a way to automatically map the same drive letter for all users to the same folder on the file server?
