Sharing files among two colleagues?

This may be a dumb or obvious question but I just want to make sure I understand how CC works among two colleagues.  We have CC installed for one account on two computers in different locations.  If I go to the CC interface:
make the green check selection as seen above, and then put files here:
And when my colleague logs in to CC using the same account and does the same thing above, will he be able to see those files too?
If not, is there a way for two colleagues to share files like this?  Thanks.

On my machine I've created a directory(folder) in the /Users directory called localshare. Since the directory can have just one owner, I've made root own the folder.
sudo mkdir /Users/localshare
Every user on my machine belongs to the group-Staff. I need to change the group class on the localshare directory that I've created.
sudo chown :staff /Users/localshare
As a reference, I changed the traditional permissions to reflect my desired results and lock down the permissions some.
sudo chmod 770 /Users/localshare
I have added an ACL on the localshare directory that allows the group staff to do anything within the directory- make file and directories, modify files that they do not owner, etc.
sudo chmod +ai "staff allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit" /Users/localshare
This works well for me with one issue. Files or folders must be copied to the localshare directory. They cannot be moved.

  • Sharing Files Amongst Two Computers With DIFFERENT Versions Of Windows (XP & Vista)

    I just bought a WRT54G4 Wireless-G broadbad router & am a n00bie to this whole networking thng.  As things stand now, I have got everything whereas both my desktop PC (Windows XP Home Edition) & my wireless laptop PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) are online (Both local & Internet) HOWEVER I cannot seem to get things whereas my desktop PC shares files which can then be viewed & otherwise accessed by the laptop.
    Here's what I'm trying to do....
    * Have BOTH computers access the Internet via private network (This I have already managed to do)
    * Have the desktop share files which can be accessed (Wirelessly or not) by my laptop
    Essentially, I want to be able to make use of BOTH HDs as needed.
    My desktop is an old AMD Duron 1 Ghz. computer with 512MB of RAM & can handle SOME small tasks however the big gun is my laptop (A 1.86 Ghz. Intel Pentium with 3 GB of RAM). Because of it's speed & memory, I'd like to have the laptop handle the larger & more intensive tasks.
    Although my laptop has a smaller HD compared my desktop (A 136 GB HD in the desktop (Out of 200 GB) compared to a 141 GB (I'm guessing this HD is around that size but since it came pre-installed & I'm currently leasing-to-own, I don't know), I'd like to be able to make use of BOTH HDs if at all possible.  All I need is for the two computers to see the two HDs & all the files on it.
    I have tried the setting up of file sharing as instructed elsewhere on the Linksys site, but lost it when I restarted both of my computers since that's what the page told me to do (I followed the Windows XP as the desktop has all the files I want to be shared & Windows XP is the OS of the desktop).  Should I have not done this?
    Also, my ultimate goal is to GET RID of the big bulky monitor which I have plugged into the back end of my desktop PC & just simply use the laptop instead since it doesn't take up so much room on the desk.  Is there a software-based "Virtual Monitor" or monitor emulator of some kind which I can download (FREE please ) that will allow me to see the desktops of all the computers on my network just as if I
    had REAL monitors?  If so, where might I find one? 
    In short, whle I have accomplished a great deal in these last few days since I bought the router & linked the two computers together, as you can see, I still need some help & I've got some learning to do.
    Any help I can get wouldbe MOST appreciated.

    File & Printer Sharing IS enabled on the desktop (Which has all the files I wish to share) HOWEVER.....
    Ricewind wrote:
    Make sure File and Printer Sharing is Enabled...
    Also make sure both the computer's are in the same workgroup...
    The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In WindowsXP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...
    Also go into the computer software firewall on each computer, and set it to "trust" the other computers on your network.
    If your firewall or PC security program keeps a list of trusted applications (also known as a "trusted zone"), then make sure that your router is in the trusted zone on your firewall...
    As indicated before, both computers have DIFFERENT operating systems.  The laptop has Windows Vista HP installed while the desktop has Windows XP HE installed.  As such, are you suggesting that I stick with the default workgroup names just to keep things simple?
    As for the firewall & other security software, I have Windows Defender plus SpyBot (Desktop only), ThreatFire & AdAware (The latter I rarely use since ThreatFire fills this need rather nicely).  Would I have to go into Defender on both computers & tell it to trust the other computer?  Network Magic already does this with both computers (Yes, I have Network Magic installed on both computers).

  • Sharing files among different user accounts -- file/folder permissions?

    I have two main user accounts that I switch between during the day (essentially a PERSONAL account and a WORK account). This allows me to keep separate Mail, iCal, etc -- as well as desktop applications and file organization. However, I am having some major issues with sharing data between the user accounts.
    WHAT I WANT: A local drop box for shared communal files between these two primary users. Seems simple enough, right?
    WHAT I DID: I created a subfolder in /Users/Shared/ called "COMMUNAL DROP BOX" and set the permissions to R/W for both my user accounts, and no access for the other accounts. However, when I copy files into this folder from my PERSONAL account -- it retains the file level permissions. For example, I grabbed some photos from my iPhone that I shot of a display for work -- I grabbed them off the phone and then dragged them into the drop box. They are in the shared folder, but the file perms are set to PERSONAL_ACCOUNT "Read & Write" and Everyone "No Access." There's no way I can continue to individually change every single file's permission -- how do I set it up to automatically match the folder, so that files like this are then readable by my work account?

    On my machine I've created a directory(folder) in the /Users directory called localshare. Since the directory can have just one owner, I've made root own the folder.

  • Sharing files between two users on one computer

    I have two user accounts on my Macbook so that I can use two different .Mac accounts. I want to be able to access files from both users accounts. Is there a way to do this without having to copy files into the "Public" or "Shared" folders?

    You could create a new folder at the root "/" level. Put the file in there. More than likely each of you will have to modify permissions after editing the file.
    OR you could put the file on an external drive.

  • Advice on sharing files between two Macs please?

    Hello all,
    I have two G4s, one running 10.3.9 and one running 10.4. They are both connected to an ethernet router for internet. I would like to share files between these two computers as well as share a printer connected to the G4 running Panther.
    After reading the Apple docs, I'm a bit confused, so I've posted here for clarification if possible.
    From what I understand I can simply "turn on file sharing" on both and then grab and move files to the "Public" folder only of each G4?
    I can also simply "turn on printer sharing" and share my printer with the Tiger G4?
    In either case, will the G4s mount on each other's desktops?
    Thanks in advance for any clarification.

    Have you actually tried it yet? You're not clear on that bit!
    It should just work. Be aware that shaing over ethernet is all about IP adresses. Normally you wouldn't think about this, but your router will probably assign these to the two macs automatically. In theory.
    A good thing to know is, if you are on Mac A, with Sharing set up as ON on the other Mac (B), you can log in AS THE USER on Mac B, thereby gaining total access to that machine - not just the shared folder. However, if you log on as a "guest" you will only get into the shared folder.
    The thing to remember is, go to preferences in the Finder (nont System Prefs) and click the Sidebar tab at the top. Make sure that Connected Servers and Netwrk are ticked to appear in the sidebar.
    Any window you open in the FInder will now have a Network icon on the left. Touch this, and the other Mac shold appear (after a delay) like a disk. Click it, and then you can click through to log into it.
    You can set up network disks to automount at startup too.
    Good luck.

  • Sharing files between two macs over the internet

    I'm trying to work out how to connect two macs across the internet and am wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a "very basic , step by step, how to" file or manual.

  • Cloud Computing / Sharing files among multiple Macs

    Greetings,
    I'll start by saying that I briefly searched for my answer on the board with no luck. So sorry if it's out there but I couldn't find it.
    To get to the point, I have two main macs (desktop & laptop) that I use interchangeably. I would like to be able to access the same files with both computers and more importantly, stay in sync with those files. Example, I work on my FileMaker Pro database on my Mac Pro, then when it's time to leave for the office, I have to copy the file over to my MacBook (if I remember to do that). Which means that I always have two files out there at the same time. This has been ok to deal for one file but I'm finding more and more apps that I'd like to share the files with (Things, Quicken, Filemaker, iBank, OmniFocus...etc).
    I do have a MobileMe account (prev .mac) but not sure if I can do it with that or iDisk. I would love it to work as seamlessly as my Mail, Address Book, and iCal syncs with MobileMe. What Mac or 3rd party options do I have for this feature/service? And can someone explain how it would work? Meaning, when I launch an app like iBank, would my app be working on the file in the "cloud"? or would the service/app push the file down to my computer for me to work on it locally and then push it back up when I close the app?
    Hope my question was clear but here it is again;
    What service or application will allow me to share files between my Macs?
    Thanks!

    Jorge:
    You can't do that with the alias system. That'st because each user will have a totally independent library from the other users. Any edits made will be saved in that particularly users iPhoto Library folder and not be available to others.
    Tutorial #4, however, does discuss how to setup such a system.
    There is a couple of caveats to this system. Each new set of photos should be added to the source group in it's own folder, preferable dated, so that each user can check to see what's are the new files and import them into their own library. Also any user who deletes a photos from their library does not delete it from the source group. That has to be done manually. That can be good or bad depending your your point of view. That is, one user cann't delete a source file that another users wants and needs for a slideshow, etc.

  • OS 10.5 Sharing – Files appear as "Read Only" – SOLUTION!

    I have been having problems with sharing files between two macs since upgrading to 10.5 Leopard. Files and catalogs were available on both machines and both were set to "read & write" however files would only open as "read only" and files could not be saved between macs.
    After an entire day of trying to find an answer (and talking to Apple Care for hours) I have found the solution. And it's a very simple fix. The UUID needs to be changed on the computer giving you trouble.
    Here's the solution from the original post below:
    In OS X 10.5, you can change the UUID for your account by going to the "Accounts" system preferences and clicking the lock to authenticate. Then right-click (control-click) your account name and select "Advanced Options." Then click the "Create New" button next to the UUID field, and a new number will be generated. This should be done on the computer that you cannot properly connect to, and not on the computer you are connecting from. All this will do is provide a new identifier for your account when you are logging in remotely, and should clear problems with authentication and permissions mismatches.
    Hope this helps!
    Here's the original post from MacFixIt (I am including the entire post so that anyone searching for these phrases or error messages can find it quickly):
    Apple Discussion poster "Thomas Kranz1" writes:
    "I am suddenly getting this message when I try to copy a file from my new MacBook Pro to my PowerBook running 10.4.9. 'You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named [file I am trying to transfer] (stop, continue). I hit continue and get the error message: 'The item [that I am transferring] contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?' I say continue and get the error: 'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.' My network was working fine until today. I can copy fine to all other computers on my network. But not this one."
    When OS X transfers data between computers, you first log into the remote system and mount a readable or writable sharepoint from the remote system. Then when you transfer files they should be given ownership and permissions based on the account you're using on the remote computer (not the current computer). This ensures you can access the files anytime and from anywhere as long as you use the same credentials to log into the computer containing them.
    When problems with permissions in file transfers occur, you should first check your sharepoints to ensure the account you are using has read-and-write access to the share. To do this, open the "Sharing" system preferences and select the "File Sharing" service. Then ensure the sharepoint is listed in the "Shared Folders" list and then give the username you're logging in with both "Read & Write" permissions. If you are logging in from a PC, then click the "Options" button and enable "Share files and folders using SMB" and then select the account you wish to use to log in. Clicking "Done" should allow you to log into the system using the specified credentials.
    If the system keeps presenting insufficient privileges errors even after supplying appropriate credentials, the problem may be with how the computer is authenticating the account being used. For network directory authentication, OS X uses a "Universally Unique Identifier" or "UUID" number to identify user accounts, and if there is a problem with the UUID not matching, you may still be able to log in locally to the remote computer but may have permissions problems when using the same credentials remotely. Apple started implementing network directories that use UUIDs in OS X 10.3, and in 10.5 they're required, since Apple changed from the NetInfo authentication technologies to "Open Directory," which is built for network directory authentication and implements UUIDs.
    In OS X 10.5, you can change the UUID for your account by going to the "Accounts" system preferences and clicking the lock to authenticate. Then right-click (options-click) your account name and select "Advanced Options." Then click the "Create New" button next to the UUID field, and a new number will be generated. This should be done on the computer that you cannot properly connect to, and not on the computer you are connecting from. All this will do is provide a new identifier for your account when you are logging in remotely, and should clear problems with authentication and permissions mismatches.
    For people having problems with copying files to a 10.4 machine, it may help to ensure ownership on the shared resource is properly set. To do this, launch the terminal and type the following command, followed by a single space:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`
    NOTE: The command uses "grave accent" marks (`), which is the character under the "tilde" next to the "1", and not apostrophes or single-quotes.
    After this has been typed (with the space following it), drag the shared folder to the terminal and the full path to the folder should complete. Then press enter and supply your password to complete the command. When this has been run, try copying the files again.

    David,
    Of course the files are checked in; otherwise I wouldn't be able to create a configuration on them and base a workarea on the configuration in order to download the files.
    Here's my problem: I check-in and out files while developing a release. A release for me is a set of (checked-in) objects and folders grouped in a checked-in configuration.
    Once I'm finished I want to download the release. In order to do this I base a 'DOWNLOAD' workarea on the configuration that represents the release.
    Then I download the DOWNLOAD workarea; and have all files in the release on my file system. But I do not want them to be READ-ONLY !!, since the folders and files that make up my application have to be moved and copied around a couple of servers using FTP scripts and this is a whole lot more complicated when the files and folders are read-only.
    If this cannot be disabled than Oracle SCM is a lot less attractive for our way of doing SCM... although I have been able to adjust all my Java FTP classes so that write-access is enabled on all file and folders after download and before publishing the application to all servers.
    By the way I use the Java API of Oracle SCM to download the contents of the DOWNLOAD workarea.

  • Sharing files between different users on same computer

    how do I go about sharing files between two users on the same computer?
    also, what about iTunes, can I transfer songs between users, or do I have to pay for it everytime, even though it's on the same computer?

    You can control sharing of a user's itune library in the sharing preference. It is good for users on the same computer and the same local network (usually your house of small office).
    As for files on another users folder, they have to either change the permissions of the parent folder (get info) or put the file to be shared into the public folder.

  • Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

    File Sharing failed between my Mavericks iMacs.  The console logs showed that the target iMac saw the ntlmv2 protocol as unknown to the kdc.  I fixed it by enabling Windows File Sharing on the target Mavericks iMac.  I had tried disabling SMB on both iMacs and leaving AFP on, but then nothing happened when I tried to connect.  Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

    When you enable file sharing you need to have either SMB (Windows) or AFP (historically Apple-native) file sharing checked. The default in Mavericks is SMB, and not AFP.
    If you uncheck both, then the system will turn off file sharing. Apple supports the use of both SMB and AFP connections in Mavericks, so with only AFP enabled you should have been able to establish a connection, but there could be a small bug or configuration-specific snafu that you're encountering.
    With AFP enabled only, try pressing Command-K in the Finder to open the Connect To Server dialogue, and in here enter the address to the system using afp:// as the protocol, such as the following (the name can be looked up in the Sharing system preferences):
    afp://my_imac.local

  • How to share a file system among two differant containers

    Hi there,
    Is there anyway to share a filesystem among two containers? If so what makes the difference if the storage is from 1) SAN 2) NAS and 3) Internal Storage.

    Hi folks,
    Thanks for your valuable quotes and suggestions.
    Here is my requirement, a FS is mounted in zone which comes form SAN and oracle installed in it, Now for R&D purpose we want create another container and install a newer version of oracle. In this case can we share the storage between those two containers?Not easily. You'd have similar issues if you had two independent machines that you wanted to see the same SAN storage.
    If you want to solve this problem via a way that leverages the zone aspect, you have to swap the mount from being in the non-global zone as a direct mount, to being in the global zone and with an lofs mount to the non-global zones.
    If these were independent machines, you could make one of them do the mount and serve the data via NFS to the other machine. But that's not available to non-global zones.

  • Sharing files with Creative cloud for teams

    HI,
    I am looking at getting creative cloud for teams, but I want to keep our existing CS suite users who are already on maintenance plans.
    Can I share files on the creative cloud  between these two types of users?
    Does Adobe Bridge see these files ?
    Is there any way of doing version control ?
    We are also worried about this
    "If a team member leaves the company, what happens to their files stored in Creative Cloud?
    The IP is associated with the individual, not the company. The individual will have a 90-day grace period to delete their files."
    Also we are in Australia and we are concerned about the speed. Can anyone advise what the speed is like ?
    rgds Renovator

    Anyone who signs up for the Creative Cloud can share files. You do not need to be a Creative Cloud member to view a shared file, only to do the sharing.
    Adobe Bridge does not see the files unless you use Creative Cloud Connection to sync the files to your local computer.
    There is no version control yet. It is on our road map.
    Being in Australia should not be an issue, but I will let other customers from Australia comment.

  • Shared file from computer with Windows 7 slow to open and save on computer with Windows 8.1

    I have three computers in homegroup. They can see each other and sharing files is not a problem. Main computer, where I have all my data on uses Windows 7 Home premium, and Office 2007. Both other computers use latest version Windows 8.1, Office 2010. I
    use these two computers to access files on main computer (word, excel). I have problems, because when I try to open word and excel files on these two other computers, files open very slow (green bar is showing, although word has no text inside), and also saves
    very slow - empty word file takes 1 minute for saving.
    One of computers with 8.1 had 8 before updating and I managed to solve this problem with running this protocol (smb.bat) - this solved the problem, although I do not really understand why:
    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    So it seems it is really something to do with the version of windows since the same computer had windows 8 and this protocol and worked well, but when updated to 8.1 it works slowly (I tried this protocol, but it is not working)
    Please see if there is any solution (updated protocol?) because I really cannot wait for word file to open 1 minute.
    Thank you for help!

    Hi,
    First, You can leave the homegroup and join again to see the result.
    To leave a homegroup:
    1.Open HomeGroup by typing homegroup in the search box, and then clicking HomeGroup.
    2.Click Leave the homegroup.
    3.Click Leave the homegroup, and then click Finish.
    You can also join the homegroup in the way accordingly.
    Besides, this happens after a upgrade to Windows 8.1, this also might be caused by service conflict, I suggest to perform a clean boot to solve this:
    1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
    2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
    3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
    4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
    5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.
