Sharing Pictures and Music in Profiles?

andrewteg

I added a profile to let a family member play around on GOS.

I was hoping to share music and pictures between the two profiles.

Is that possible?

primitive ftpd + material files seem to be the most commonly suggested way to achieve this, on this forum.
On the main profile you can set up a local sftp server (make sure it is restricted only to connections from localhost).
On other profiles you can install MaterialFiles from where you can connect to SFTP shares and get access to the shared files.

One thing I am missing in this setup is lack of ability to mount such an FTP directory as if it were a local directory for a profile, so any app could use it normally, instead of having to necessarily go through MaterialFiles or apps like that.

No method within the OS to do this, as profiles are isolated from each other. You can use something like Send to transfer files privately though. If you need to transfer larger files or have trouble with connection speeds, you can look at other instances.

You can use messaging apps to transfer files, like SimpleX, Matrix or Session

You can share files between profiles locally using USB stick or download via cloud like Proton Drive.
