imac osx snow leopard, 2 accounts acc1 and acc2 created, want to have a place for acc1 and acc2 put files for share to each other to read/write, can help how?

tried set \users\acc1\public permissions to acc1 and acc2 read/write, when acc1 create folder in \users\acc1\public, but folder created will have no write permission for acc2.

thx!

DropBox could be Plan B though not too efficient.

Put a folder right on the hard drive, outside of any accounts or other folders. Ensure permissions are set the way you want.

System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing

Add the folders you want to share, and give the users the appropriate rights.

Edit: I thought that worked under SL as well, but I can't check right now.

for dropbox, after acc2 drop a file to acc1, acc2 can't access that copy of file again

for 'put a folder right on the hard drive', acc1 created folder /f1 on harddisk root, set acc1 and acc2 have read/write permissions, create folder f2 in f1, acc2 can't write to f2 because only acc1 have read/write permission, same result for solution from turtle777

anything like Windows's permissions inheritance from parent folder automatically? thx!

/Users/Shared is there just for this purpose.

For voodoo's sake, try Repair Permissions in the Disk Utility.

How are you setting permissions? Get Info on the folder, sharing and permissions, everyone > read-write.

ChrisF has given the answer, why screw around setting permissions?

It seems like has already screwed things up. His Dropbox shows signs of permission problems.
