Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive all move our family data into the Cloud — and I’d like to not worry about that. Sync solutions mean new software, but perhaps only on one machine.<\/p>\n

This Apple article partly explains what is supposed to happen<\/a>. From Airport Utility we can create username\/password “accounts”. Say “Parent” and “Kids”. When a client connects you are asked username\/password, that gives access to the Folder of the same name as well as a “Shared” folder.
