Work latop and access shared folder on home network

Dear Experts

My laptop which has windows 10 is a work laptop and it is part of the work domain.

At home I need to access my shared folder at desktop to do backup for photos documents.

I can access the shared folder no problem but every time I need to type in the credential while that won't happens on other home computers (windows 7 not 10).
Means home computers were required credential only the first time and it would be saved, while work laptop every time I need to type in credentials to access shared folder why ?

Second question I have bee using 2BrightSparks backup software for while on my other home computers and I used to do backup to a shared folder, without any problem.

Today I tried to use software on my work laptop, backup software has source and destination.

I tried to set the destination to be a (shared folder) but software can't see it, although I mapped that shared folder on my work laptop and I can access it.
 
I could be wrong, I don't have a lot of experience with domain-based setups, but I don't think that they "mix" with Workgroups, all that well.

Did you create a separate user on your laptop, for your home networking setup? (Are you a Local Admin on that laptop?)

If you're not a local admin, then get another laptop for your personal stuff, and keep the work laptop for work stuff.
