How can I give others access to my files?
Ordinarily nobody will be able to see any of the files in your home folder, but there are a number of ways
to give people access to them. If you have the proper access permissions, you can create a shortcut in a
public folder that points to the file or folder you want to share. Anyone with access to the folder will
be able to see your shortcut, but will only be able to access the shortcut if you've given them permissions.
You can also give somebody permissions to the file or folder, then tell them the path and they can create
their own shortcut to it. The only way to allow someone to directly navigate to the file or folder is to give
that person "list files" permissions to your home folder, and any necessary sub folders. "List Files" only lets
the person see the list of files, it does not allow them to access the files unless you also give "read" access.
Refer to the help file for specific descriptions of the various permissions you can give.
