Howdy,


I share things between my Mac users via the Shared folder inside the Users folder.

/Users/Shared/


If I want to share a document I just copy it into that folder. If I want to copy some text I just select it and drag it into the folder. It becomes a textClipping file that other users can access.


For example:

If I select your question


and drag it into the Shared folder it becomes "Sharing clipboard with multi.textClipping" which other users can access.


Are you using Fast User Switching?
