And I did a bit of google search and didn’t find an answer but maybe someone here knows - I think you have to get the files out of their separate user accounts to be able to manage them together.</p>
<p dir="auto">Another thought - don’t try to manage the duplication - just have the files on an external drive and when you need an old file go and get it.</p>
<p dir="auto">My two cents.<br>
