Understanding Public Folders

Hello All,

This will seem, most likely, like a lame question, but if I put something in my Public folder for other users of my MBP to use, should it automatically appear in their Public folder or would they have to navigate to /Users/MyUserName/Public to see/access the data?

Everything I've found on Public folders seems based around remote access, special configurations, and the like.

Thanks,

Bowjest
 
The other users will have to go to your account to get the files in your Public folder. The distinction between the Public folder and the others that are present in your account by default is that other users cannot access your Documents, Music, Movies, or Pictures because those are private.
