4. Double-click the Public icon to display the subfolders: Shared Music, Shared 
Pictures, and Shared Videos.
You can now drag and drop files into the shared folders using Finder.
5. If you want to make the shared drive icon permanent on your desktop, create an 
alias. Following are two ways to do that:
Note: Before creating an alias, click Finder>Preferences and make sure Connected Servers is 
checked.
Click the item you wish to alias (e.g., Public share icon) and hold down the 
mouse button. Hold down the Cmd and Option keys simultaneously and 
drag the item to where you want the alias to appear. Instead of moving the 
original item, this creates an alias at the new location.
Double-click the item you want to alias (e.g., the Public share icon), and then 
click File>Make Alias.
