Shared folder "Access is Denied" between Windows computers

As I can see from your description you want to share a directory.
Since you use Windows 8 and I can see the "Security" tab you are using NTFS-filesystem.
It seems like you didn´t configure NTFS-permissions.

  • Click on the "Security" Tab of the Folder you want to share.
  • Then "Edit..."
  • In the new window click "Add..."
  • In the new window click "Advanced..."
  • In the new window click "Find Now..."
  • Select the user who needs the permission to acces the folder.
  • Go back to the "Permissions for " dialog.
  • Choose the user you added.
  • Set permission to "Allow" / Full controll (Or at least read permission)
  • Click Apply.

On the sharing tab, the only entry you Need is:

  • Everyone
  • With permission "Full Controll".

You can manage the permissions with the NTFS-Permissions of the Security Tab.

The rest of the configuration looks correct.
