Sharing read-only data among students

[Chiil]

I noticed two folders in my accounts with the names shared and shared-readwrite. I would really like to share a dataset of approximately 50 MB among the students, that they will all open at the same time (30 students). Is this possible, or is it better to put the file separately in each account?

Yep - that's a great use-case for the shared-readwrite folder 👍

But what is the difference between shared and shared-readwrite? Which one is read-only? I do not want them to be able to edit the file.

shared-readwrite/ is only available to administrators, and anything that is put into that folder will show up in shared/ for all hub users. So in order to make something show up in shared/, an administrator should put it into shared-readwrite/.

(so, shared-readwrite is just a version of shared/ that has write privileges instead of being read-only)

Alright, clear!
