How to share files with users

I have a drive I am sharing with some other people and I want some people to be able to access some folders on the drive but not others. Does that mean I need to chance the permissions for each folder, or is there a way that I can change the permissions for one folder and have that applied to all folders within that folder?

Go into the get info screen for the folder.
Set who should be allowed to access those folders and the contained folders
Click on the gear at the bottom of the window and select "Apply to enclosed items"
It might take a little time to convert the permissions but when it is done, you should be all set.

    If you mean just moving files between a Mac and a PC with XP on it, get a USB flash drive, format it FAT32 (they usually come that way) and copy the files to that drive.

  • Still not sure how to share files with my friend's Windows PC?

    I went through all the help pages concerning this, but it doesn't seem to help any. On our house internet connection, both our computers use the same IP address. I tried connecting directly to his computer using ethernet cable, but his computer never showed up. Our workgroup name should be the same, his is WORKGROUP but I'm not sure how to officially make mine that. I went to Network in System Preferences and clicked on Advanced... then went to the WINS tab and it has workgroup in the workgroup box, does this mean my computer is using that workgroup name? I'm at a loss and would like to share files with my friend's computer.

    Do you have a router?
    If not then sharing files will not be easy.

  • How to share files with others?

    Hello! I wanna share some files with my home mates who are both Windows users. I wonder how to do it.
    Thanks

    If you open up your system preferences, and along the Internet row, you should see a "Sharing" icon. Within there you would have the option to enable Windows File Sharing.
    You may want to try this feature and follow the instructions within that preferences pane.
    If this doesn't prove to be worthy, try establishing a connection through the internet (if available). Otherwise you could simply burn CD's from your Mac and transfer them that way to the PC's. This is of course if your Mac is a CD burner.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

    In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
    http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

    Terry,
    I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
    Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
    We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
    Thanks.

  • How to share files between user accounts

    I have used the shared folder but I must duplicate the file every time - how can I get it to use 1 file on both users and saving it to the shared folder?

    When you say "Shared folder", do you mean /Users/Shared, or the public folder of your user, or some folder you are file sharing?
    If the file is read-only (for the other user), then that's why you're getting the Duplication request.
    I would put the files in  /Users/Shared, and that should work.

  • How to share files with your friends ?

    I downloaded the OS X server, but can not share files.
    Please help me understand.

    If your friends are not on your home network, you should upload the files to a public file server. If they are on your home network, use File Sharing. Either way, you don't need Server.

  • How to share files with iOS and android phone with my iPhone 6

    I Just wanna know how to transfer files from iPhone to android phones and vise versa.

    Best bet would be to use a third party cloud service such as DropBox or Box. Apps for them should be available for both platforms (they definitely are for iOS).

  • How to share files with other PC users such as html file?

    I am creating a website using QuarkXpress. Now I uploaded my html and image folder directly to my Site folder. My client has a PC, but cannot open the http address to view the page. Web sharing is on, also file sharing. What did I miss?? Thanks for your help.

    Hi, there are actually 2 Sites on your Mac.
    Open System Preferences>Sharing, highlight Web Sharing & look for something like this...
    View this computer’s website at http://192.168.1.4/ or your personal website at http://192.168.1.4/~naxten/
    Oh, is your client remote, or on the same local IP range?

  • I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

    I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

    If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
    If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

  • How should i share file with other devices such as nokia,blackberry and etc using bluetooth

    I want to share  files between other deivce such as nokia but couldnt, could u help me tell how can i share files with other devices???

    @AKRBTN: Thanks for the reply and info.
    That is a solution, but it really isn't viable.
    It is sad that apple refuses to support this.
    A simple example: Sitting somewhere with no signal and you want to share a file (photo) with your colleague or friend, who happens to be right next to you.
    Or even if there is signal and you don't want to be paying fees or data charges.
    Or you may be in a rehearsal studio and need to share that very important file and have no time to go outside and get signal and try to send the file, which then everyone else has to go outside and catch the signal and pay fees.
    Anyway, I see that this is a dead end with apple, so I guess I will be back to carrying 2 phones around again.
    Peace,
    SB
