Supposedly, to share files with other users on the same computer, you drop the file into the PUBLIC folder and it will be accessed by other users. No way! File does NOT appear with any other user. Also, there is no SHARED folder either, in spite of a "search" for such. I've tried this repeatedly. I'm NOT connected to a WiFi internet system (except for this exchange I use internet at a local cafe).
Why is sharing info between two users on the same computer such a pain in 2016?

Try going to the hard drive level Users folder. From there, select the user whose public folder you want to access. You should be able to access it there. Another option is to use the Shared folder in the User folder.
