Shared Pictures, and Shared Videos. You can now drag and drop files into the
shared folders using Finder:
Note: The Public folder icon automatically displays on the desktop.
4. If you want to make a shared drive icon permanent on your desktop, create an
alias. Following are two ways to do that:

 Click the item you wish to alias (e.g., Shared Music), 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.
