Persistent Issues Accessing a Mac on the Same Network

My wife and I both own iMac M1 computers running on the latest version of Sequoia. We decided to grant each other access to our respective systems for convenience.

While I have no trouble accessing her iMac, she encounters issues when trying to access mine. After a few days of normal access, she suddenly finds herself locked out of my computer.

To resolve this recurring problem, I take the step of deactivating file sharing in my system settings. I then restart my iMac and reactivate the sharing option.

Unfortunately, this process is not a one-time fix; I have to repeat it multiple times a week, which quickly becomes frustrating. In an effort to find a solution, I’ve explored various methods, including trying out Terminal commands that I came across.

Despite these attempts, the issue persists. It seems that I might be overlooking a simple fix that could resolve this problem permanently.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experienced a similar situation or has suggestions for troubleshooting this issue. Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated, as this would help restore smooth access between our computers without the repeated hassle of managing the sharing settings.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
