What is the best way to transfer photos or files between user accounts?
Is there a direct way or do we need to use a cloud service or computer?
Transfer Files and Photos Between User Account Profiles
Cloud service, notes app with sync, USB stick.
Works over loopback. No server nor internet connection required.
doublefree can you point to a tutorial to configure to share data between profiles?
Thanks

Somehow I editing failed. Nevermind here are my setups notes (Setting names were noted in german, notes piped through deepl):
- Device name
- Some identifying name
- Address(es) for the synchronization protocol
- `tcp://127.0.0.1:22000, quic://127.0.0.1:22000`
- Activate NAT penetration
- Off
- Local device search
- Off
- Global device search
- Off
- Forwarding activated
- Off
- Use execution conditions
- Off
+ Storage Scope
Same for Second user, but with different name and ports. Then pair.- Make sure that Syncthing can run in background in the not active profile when you sync.
doublefree I have configured using your instructions but the app into the not main profile do not starts after config then exit then login again. A loading circle is displayed until infinite when I try to enter the app...

Not being able to easily transfer data between user account profiles is actually why I only use one Owner profile and compartmentalize my apps between trusted vs. untrusted using Shelter.
I wish I could take advantage of the amazing GOS additions made to user profiles instead of relying on Shelter, but this being so inconvenient to do while on the go keeps me on my current setup.
I wrote about my setup and reasoning of my setup here. If you need to transfer data across your compartments, perhaps you can consider a setup similar to mine until a better alternative is found.
