Hey Guys,
I'm trying to set up an easy solution to my problem. At my office, we have both macs and PCs. My mac is the one where all files are stored (thus, everyone has to copy or paste files in my mac). The problem is, that I constantly need to change the folder permissions so everyone has access. So, for example, when the PC guy saves his file on my folder, someone else won't be able to copy it or replace it, since he 'does not have the right permission'. Thus, I need to right click on my folder, Get Info > set my password > Read&Write privileges for everyone > click on Apply to enclosed items and close the info window. It doesn't seem that bad, but to do this 10 times per day is extremely annoying. Thus, I want a 1 click solution! Can anyone help me please? I tried doing a script through automator, but I'm no programming genius and haven't been able to figure it out.
Thanks!
Nick
