Creating a "dropbox" share where all users can save work, but only staff members can read it

1. Log on as root and go to a command line
2. Create the dropbox folder by running the command: mkdir -p /usr/shares/dropbox
3. Give everyone write access to the folder but, crucially, only allows users to delete files they've created. Run the command: chmod 1777 /usr/shares/dropbox
4. In conjunction with the permissions set later, allow staff members read and write access to the whole of the dropbox. Run the command: chgrp staff /usr/shares/dropbox
5. Add the following to /etc/netmanager/smb.shares. Do this by running the command: joe /etc/netmanager/smb.shares and then adding the lines at the end. Save the file by type Ctrl-K followed by X.

   [dropbox]
         comment = User work drop box
         path = /usr/shares/dropbox
         browseable = yes
         create mode = 0660
         directory mode = 0770
         writable = yes
   

6. The configuration file will be automatically re-read, so the share will be virtually immediately available
7. Alter your logon script to map the share as a drive
