Sharing files and folders between two users – permissions
Hi, I have a question about permissions. I have two users on my mac, both of which are me – one for everyday stuff and the other which I use for work.
I want to have a space on my mac where I can add and edits files via either user and either user can edit those files without having to enter a password.
I started utilising the Users/Shared/ folder for this and have set the permissions on that folder to Read & Write for both users. I've also selected the "Apply to enclosed items..." setting so that Read & Write applies to everything inside the Shared folder. However I've noticed if a new file or folder is added inside, the user who created that file or folder has permission to write to that file and the other user doesn't.
Can I set it so that all new files and folders inside Users/Shared/ take on the permissions of the parent folder, e.g. all new files and folders are allocated Read & Write for both users? If not, is there some other way I can achieve what I'm trying to achieve on my mac? (A space on my mac where new files and folders can be edited by both users without requiring a password.)
Cheers, Darren
