Q: Sharing & Permissions
We have both a MacBook and an iMac which are running Yosemite (10.10.5). Generally, I use the MacBook and my husband uses the iMac. I have my documents organized into folders on "my" MacBook. I work from home and generally use "my husband's" iMac during the day. I access my documents from the MacBook through a shared network. I have set up the sharing & permissions on many folders so that both of us have read & write permission on the files from each others computer.
The problem is that when I create a new document on one computer, I have to change the permissions so the other computer can edit it. It has become my morning routine to open the folder, click Get Info, and then set the permissions each day to all the documents in the folder (Apply to enclosed items). I'd really like not to have to do this each morning and sometimes throughout the day too.
Is there any way to automatically set new documents to share permissions between users? I've looked at the instructions on this Webpage: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/5689/permissions-for-new-files-in-share d-directory but they are way too complicated for me.
Thanks.
iMac, iOS 10.0.2
