OK, I'm a certified Apple fan-boy but there are at least a dozen (or more) things that just REALLY annoy me with Apple.  One of the big ones is multiple users using the same Mac.

For example, I have a 27" iMac (Snow Leopard) that has four accounts.  Two admins (my wife and I) and two kids.  With one of the kids being a restricted account (locked down for 8 year old).

Anyway, I also have a MBP that I use for development.  100% of my code is in my DropBox folder.  That folder is also on the iMac.  So when I update my code, the changes get synced to the iMac.

However, there are many problems.  First, the DropBox location on the iMac is in the Shared folder.  But I **STILL** get permission problems with the other accounts.  Even the other admin account.  I have gone in and told the OS to give read/write permissions (and all sub folders) to all accounts in the DropBox folder.  Still doesn't work.

I constantly get access denied on the other accounts accessing that folder.  My guess is because I am creating the file on my MBP and sending over with MY account.

Should I create the same users on my MBP and give them access?  That seems ridiculous.

Any other suggestions?

**EDIT**
By DropBox, I mean the SERVICE DropBox.  I want the DropBox folder to be read/write for all users because we also use it for photos, etc.
