Unless IT has blocked it you should have share options for your Public Folder. At least that's how it was when we ran it at a company. Every user had access to their own public share to share as needed. It was part of the Unix Model.

    Never have I seen a public folder on a Linux system, neither personal nor the ones I use for work.

    Either way, it would not solve the problem of me myself deciding to share a folder with a set of selected people who can write files in the folder which I then can modify or delete.

    I can get to the point of them reading, modifying and creating new files; but the fact that I can not delete files by someone else in my own folders really pisses me off.

    All the Linux installs I've done have a public folder in the user home directory as default.

    And for example in Gnome settings you turn on the sharing option/password.

    I realize that doesn't give you samba sharing with user name access though.
