Sharing Files Among Users

The Users folder on your hard disk contains the home folders for all the users of your Mac. It also contains the Shared folder, which all users have complete access to. This is a good place to store files that you share with other users. Other users can also use this folder to share files with you.
 
In your Home is your Public folder, which you can use to store files you want others to have limited access to. Others can open items in or copy items from your Public folder, but they cannot make changes to items in or add new items to the folder.
 
In your Public folder is your Drop Box folder. Other users can put files in this folder but are not able to see its contents. They can only drag and drop files onto the folder.
