I'm afraid that will just give me the same problems I have had trying to share files by keeping them in the Users-->Shared folder. I never seemed to be able to set file or folder permissions so that either of the two users of this machine could open, edit and save a shared file without changing its name, etc.
I tried, and failed, to understand and set ACLs to share files my way.
I'd get it working, then after some time I would find that documents could not be opened by the 'wrong' user, or could not be edited and saved under the original file name. It may be OK to have to change the name of a Word draft after every user's edit, but not OK (for me) to be forced to change the name for a 1GB Photoshop file that has been worked on, generating multiple huge files every time a different user does something to it.
In frustration, I resorted to putting shared files on a separate volume with 'ignore permissions on this volume' checked. That seems to give just the kind of file sharing I want, at least until the box gets itself unchecked.
Am I missing something here? Are there liberal permissions I can set on a non-boot volume that will let me share files as I would like and will 'stick' as settings?
