I hopped on my wife’s account the other day to transfer some files to my account. Ah, I said to myself, I’ll just drop the files in my public drop box, which is the Macintosh way of doing things.
When I tried to navigate her Finder to my Drop Box, I discovered this seemed to be impossible. She is not an admin, so she couldn’t see below her user folder. So, i couldn’t back up to the Users directory, and go up my directory. I couldn’t find any menu option to jump to a particular directory, either.
i finally gave up and “cheated” by opening up the Terminal, and typing “open /Users/myname/Public/Drop\ Box”, and from there I dragged and dropped.
But somehow I feel that I must have missed something.
Does anyone have any idea about this?
