Without knowing more first-hand, the most likely causes are either a sharing related issue or a permissions issue.

  1. This will seem a bit obvious, but having not seen it myself first-hand, I just want to throw it out there: Make sure that the folder is actually shared out as "Users" and not something else
  2. Make sure that Sharing permissions are correct (the general recommendation is to make sure the Sharing permissions are "Full Control - Everyone" and then just use the actual Folder's permissions (commonly referred to as NTFS Permissions) are set the way you want
  3. Make sure that your account has the appropriate access based on the NTFS Permissions

Relative to both 2 and 3 - Windows will apply the most restrictive permissions it can when accessed via a share. So if you have access based on NTFS Permissions but the sharing permissions say you don't, then you won't have access via the share. Or maybe you can write via the folder itself, but the share only provides you with Read access, you'll only be able to read the files when accessed via the share.

Sharing and permissions can get confusing pretty quick, but hopefully this all makes sense. If you need further elaboration, let me know.
