How to share files and documents between users of a same Mac

Share files among the user accounts on your Mac

If you have a Mac in your household, chances are it's being shared between several family members. With every family member having his or her own account, each user can then operate the computer without messing up other users' files and settings.

In that kind of situation, users might, at some point, want to share files and documents with each other. This can be done either via a Shared folder, a Public folder available to each user, and a Drop Box folder that is specific to each user. (Not to be confused with cloud storage service Dropbox.)
