Two users, one Documents and Photos folders?
I’ve just bought a new M1 MacBook Air a week ago and I’m migrating to macOS after using DOS and windows for more than 30 years. On my old PC I had lots of documents and photos that my wife and I share, we only had one user account on that PC but some separate folders for each of us.
We are using the Air with an external monitor and keyboard as a desktop and we have set up separate user accounts on the new Air because we want to have access to our own texts and emails as well as use our individual Apple accounts linked to our iPhones. But we also want to access, use, modify and create documents and photos together. I’ve read the Apple help about sharing documents, I’ve watched several YouTube videos about sharing documents. But all of them seem to be focused on sharing a single document or on sharing a random folder using the public folder or file sharing.
I would like to put all of our documents into the official Documents folder and all of our photos into the official Photos folder and have them accessible to both users. In other words I want to share those two official folders for Documents and Photos. So far I haven’t even found a discussion or video that mentions that kind of possibility. Is this possible? Any help or direction would be appreciated.
